    Work in Progress: Commissioned Watercolor Succulent

    • by


    Here is a sneak peak of a commissioned watercolor I am currently working on. This is a 5″ x 7″ painting that I am working on from a beautiful photo that the client provided. It has been a lot of fun to work on! The colors are fantastic!

    Succulents have been on my wish list to paint for awhile. I just might end up doing a succulent wedding invitation in the near future!

    If you are interested in my commissioned watercolor services, please keep in mind that the subject matter doesn’t have to be wedding-related; the skies the limit! Contact me here for more information.

    Work in Progress: First Autumn Leaf

    • by

    While doing a brief hike this past weekend I spotted by first brightly-colored autumn leaf! If you know me at all, you know that I am head-over-heels smitten with Autumn. I am a big-time “leafer“. I love the bright-colored leaves, the smell of burning leaves, pumpkins, butternut squash soup, spicy beers, brisk mornings, and potted mums! Needless to say, I was pretty excited when I spotted this leaf….my first sign that my favorite season is around the corner.

    What I love about this leaf is that it looks like the red is slowly creeping over the green in the leaf and taking it over.

    Work in Progress: Lavender with background wash

    • by

    Above you will see a sneak peak of my progress on a new painting. Here I have used masking fluid to block off the lavender plant, so I could put a beautiful, warm wash on top of it. I’m excited to see how the bright blues and purples contrast with the warm yellows and oranges of the background.

    Expect to see more works in progress around here! I like them a lot. I think it is interesting to see the progression into a finished piece. Watercolor can get a bit messy and I want to show that part of it too!

    Lavender wedding invitation now available on the Hand-Painted Weddings invitation shop.
