About to work on edits on my #wip What is everyone else up to today? #writercommunity #writers #write

Another Venice scene tutorial. Had such a fun time working on this piece. Off to find more to do. I’m definitely not avoiding edits! Hahaha. 😂 #ink #watercolour #urbansketch #art #commission

Look what Ijust got in the mail! A late birthday present, a #Jinx acrylic stand. I love it so much. Jinx is my favorite Korean Manhwa series. Eeee. Thank you so much Denise!

Completed a super fun tutorial of an old bridge. I love the way it turned out. I’m super pumped to go back to my Canson watercolor sketchbook. Yay! #watercolour #urbansketch #art #ink #commission #bridge

I literally just finished this house tutorial today! I absolutely love doing buildings and houses. They are my jam, I would say. I think the shadows really steal the show here. #watercolour #urbansketch #art #ink #house

I just finished a cottage tutorial. I think the tree and shadow turned out really well. If I do say so myself. #ink #watercolour #urbansketch #art #commission #cottage #cottagecore

🎨 I thought I’d try an experiment, I did the same tutorial on two different kinds of paper. The streetcar on the left was done in my regular paper sketch pad. It is meant for dry media. What do you think? 🎨 #watercolour #urbansketch #art #ink #commissions

I did a few tutorials lately to hone my skills. Here is an adorable little cactus. 🌵 #commissionswelcome #watercolor #commissions #art #drawing #urbansketching #ink 

Doing tutorials even when I’m working on commissions is helpful for me. There is always down time in working with watercolor (drying time anyone?) and it helps to have something else to work on. Do you like to multitask? #commissions #commissionswelcome #watercolor #art #drawing #urbansketching

Another wee little house, from a tutorial. I love working on buildings. #commissionswelcome #watercolor #art #drawing #urbansketching #ink

Playing with different buildings. A fun tutorial. #commissionswelcome #watercolor #art #drawing #urbansketching #ink

I just finished another door I was working on before the commissions came in. This is hands down my favorite. There is still time to book a commission before the holidays, by the way. In the meantime I’m honing my skills. #commissionsopened #watercolor #commissions #art #urbansketching

While I’m working on commissions, I thought I’d do a super fun practice piece. I wanted to post something too, as I can’t post the holiday gifts that I’m working on. 😁 #commissionsopened #art #commissions #ink #watercolor #drawing #urbansketching

These are the tools of the trade. The box of watercolors I work with, the posca pen I add white highlights with, the three main brushes I use and the permanent black ink I draw with. The ink and pen are from Japan. It’s reay hard to find a truly waterproof ink, but this one is the best.

Now is a great time to think of commissioning works for the upcoming holiday season. Do you have a treasured location? A meaningful cottage, old family home? Feel free to message me with any ideas or questions! #commissionsopened #watercolor #urbansketch #art #drawing #ink

Just honing my skills after some time away from painting and drawing. I completed this tutorial today. I loved the freedom on just doing a doorway. I could be free with the flowers and stonework. #art #watercolor #urbansketch #commissionsopened #ink #drawing

Just finished this fun little old truck tutorial. How fun is this? 😀 #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #art #drawing #urbansketching #watercolour

Today I finished this tutorial of a café and I was on the fence of posting it or not. I wanted to show even when something doesn’t come together there are still good points I think. 😁 #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #art #drawing #urbansketching #watercolorart

I was recently commissioned to do these two pieces. The first is the church where the client’s husband’s parents got married in South Africa. The second is a school and a famous type of tree that has purple flowers. Do you have a unique idea for a commission? Feel free to DM me! 😁

Just finished an experimental tutorial, capturing a night time cafe scene. Did it capture the glowing lights and reflections? Tell me what you think. #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #watercolour #art #urbansketching #drawing

Working on line edits on my first book. I hope to publish it this fall. It’s been years in the making. I’m so excited. 😆 #writingcommunity

One more from the sea creature tutorial that I just completed. A nautilus. Is that eye looking at you or what? 😂 I’m open for commissions. They make a unique gift. 🎁 #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #watercolour #watercolorart #urbansketching #art #drawing

Now that I finished my commissions, I had time to work a sea creature tutorial. I absolutely loved working on these cute guys. Do you have a favorite? I can’t choose. 🤷‍♀️ #art #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #watercolour #watercolorart #urbansketching #drawing

Taking a day off of edits! Is this called #selfcare ? Lol

My completed tutorial of a cottage. I worked hard to get the dappled light effect. What do you think? A dappled do or don’t? 😁

A recently completed sketch. Also, I am still available for commissions, Canada Post is still operating. Just no overtime currently. Hopefully they won’t mess over small businesses again. 😁 #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #watercolour #watercolorart #art #drawing #urbansketching

I just completed a new tutorial of castle ruins. I love the way it turned out. 😁 #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #watercolour #watercolorart #art #drawing #urbansketching #Painting

Peggy’s Cove, not a tutorial. Always working on my skills! 😁 #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #watercolour #watercolorart #art #drawing #UrbanSketching #painting #commissionart

A finished tutorial that was a little complicated. I worked to simplify the sketch. #inkdrawing #art #drawing #urbansketching #watercolor #watercolour #watercolorart #painting #commissionsopen2025

A page of my sketchbook I did recently. 😁 #commissionsopen2025 #inkdrawing #art #drawing #urbansketching

Painted a view from Lunenburg. Not a tutorial. #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #watercolour #watercolorart #art #drawing #urbansketching #painting

I just finished an old car tutorial that I worked really hard on. It’s still wonky, but it’s my kind of wonky. I’m so pleased with how it turned out. ☺️ #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #watercolour #art #urbansketching #painting #inkdrawing #watercolorart #drawing

Ok, it’s only a table and chairs, but I really loved how this turned out from a tutorial on YouTube. It’s so much fun. #watercolor #watercolour #art #commissionart #urbansketching #painting #commissionsopen2025

In a recent tutorial I painted some street vendors selling bananas and chocolates. I had a fun time painting the carts and the people too. I try very hard to be loose and gestural with my studies. #painting #watercolor #watercolour #art #urbansketching #commissionart

Most recent lighthouse tutorial. I love the sky and water, but those shadows are giving me sunset vibes. Amiright? #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #watercolour #watercolorart #art #drawing #painting

I just finished a Japanese restaurant tutorial today. It is a bit complex and I loved getting lost in the details. Also, I tried to vary the colour to show the age of the structure. Plus, there is a cat called Momo in the front. 😁 #watercolor #art #drawing #painting #commissionsopen2025

I also did a tutorial of irises and , I’m not sure what the pink flowers are? Anyone know? Anyway, spring is just around the corner I’m sure of it. As always, DM me if you have any questions or requests. #watercolor #art #drawing #painting #commissionsopen2025 #inkdrawing #WatercolorArt

I painted a lotus flower tutorial. Feeling spring so there are some flowers on the way!🪷 #watercolor #drawing #painting #art

Hello friends, I’ve collected some of my favourite pieces below. I love painting all types of things. For my small business, word of mouth is the most important advertisement. If you wouldn’t mind, could you please share this post on you page? Tell your friends who may be interested in a piece.

Here I am showing the same tutorial I did but done six months apart. The top one I just finished, the bottom one was completed in July 2024. There are similarities and differences, obviously, but I love the detail I was able to add in the latest one. #artsky

Just completed a one point perspective tutorial. Generally, most of my commissions are in this perspective. The trick is to make the piece come alive even if it is front on. DM me with any questions at anytime. #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #inkdrawing #drawing #painting #watercolorart

I thought I would talk about my paint today. Usually I use two different brands of watercolor paint, Holbein and Daniel Smith. If you would like to commission a piece, contact me via DM! #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #drawing #painting #inkdrawing

I did a painting tutorial of a burger and fries. Are you hungry or is that just me? 😁 I love painting all kinds of things! #commissionsopen2025 #watercolor #drawing #painting #inkdrawing

Working on the outline for book number two, while book one is being beta read. Yikes, how did I get there? 📚💙 #writercommunity

I just finished a food tutorial. Super fun, lots of swearing. Below is lemons and pomegranates on a plate. I love the colours, the shadows and highlights turned out well, I think. What do you think? 🍋 #watercolor #drawing #painting

Moving my manuscript over to Reedsy today. Not comfortable with my writing on Google platforms anymore. 😬 #writingcommunity

It’s my birthday today! I’m trying to focus on doughnuts 🍩 and not the collapse of the free world. lol. 😂🎂🎉🎂 #birthday

Did...any mainstream media outlet in the country report on this?

Just getting my novel to a Beta reader. I’m so excited. And nervous. #betareader #writer #writingcomminity #scared
