Hi Patrons! π€π€
For today's Mermay I combined both Southeast Asian Patterns specifically the Philippines and shapes from the sea! πI didn't know it was also #Maysia, so I wanted to combine Mermay and celebrate the culture of the Philippines (which is where I'm from!) π΅π
This piece took a long time becau...

Hi Patrons!π₯°
I wanted to do something different and fun for today! I used to do origami a lot when I was younger but it was mostly making small stars and a couple of fun shapes! I still struggle remembering how to do a crane by heart I feel like I always have to look up a step by step guide! π Do you do origami?

I wanted to do something different and fun for today! I also wanted to paint in light colours! Lately, I've been really enjoying doing paintings with an overhead lighting source I think really highlights the key areas! I've attached plenty of process photos so you can see the process of how I was figuring out how I wa...

Hi Patrons!
We're almost at the end of the month and I'm starting to feel a little burnt out! I'm not too happy with this piece so I might touch it up before posting it later! I posted as many process photos as I can since I worked with this piece in Photoshop!

For today's Mermay, I wanted to paint a mermaid that's inspired by period dramas and the countryside! I wanted to illustrate a story around this girl who's secretly a mermaid living in this idyllic manor. I even made a mockup book cover! π

We're already at Day 20! Can you believe it? For today's Mermay, I wanted to paint a jellyfish ballerina! I included antique furniture and incorporate it into the setting!

For today's Mermay, I made a jellyfish mermaid for a change and it's inspired by the snow-capped mountains in Patagonia!
Lately, I've been feeling pretty frustrated with my ideas as things aren't working as how I envisioned it. I was struggling with the resting pose for a while so I had to scrap the idea and work wi...

Today's mermaid took longer to do than I expected, actually, I knew it was going to take long since I wanted to paint a city πI had this idea of imagining the coral reef as a small quaint town. I was inspired by the streets of Italy which made me miss traveling! I can't wait to travel again!

We're halfway there!! I made a landscape mermaid today and I really enjoyed painting this one! I love blending orange and blue hues together and throwing in pinks that's why I love painting winter scenes so much since I can always add hints of pink!
