The Other Kind of Painting

My boyfriend and I are moving into a new place soon, and I've been picking out paint colors for the walls. I went to school for and worked as an interior designer so I'm not a stranger to picking paint colors, but it's definitely still a fun process! 

I was inspired to do the above illustration by the prospect of painting the walls. It's been awhile since I did a digital illustration. 


I'm going to try to work mostly digitally for the next couple weeks to try to get in some practice. I'm still working on getting a more natural/less digital look.

I saw this clutch at Kate Spade yesterday and thought it was very cute and worth sharing here :0) 

Father's Day Card Free Printable & Gift Ideas

I painted this on my new Arches watercolor paper and really like how easily it scanned. The file has guidelines for cutting out and a fold line. It would look lovely printed on card stock or watercolor paper. 

Oh and in case you don't know, Emperor Penguin males incubate the eggs for months while females go off to find food. 

Here are some gifts I think many dads would love for Father's Day:

Worth The Dough - Watercolored Goods

I've been seeing a lot of watercolor inspired products out there lately (yeah!) and thought I'd do a product roundup for you.

I think the mirror is pretty epic, as well as the Kate Spade teacup. Which is your favorite?
