Ok party people, have we all seen the Affinity update?
HOLY MOLY! I am so exited!

Bummer, that we have to wait a bit for the iPad a bit - but wow. This is beyond awesome.
And THANK YOU Serif for not abandoning the idea of a full feature iOS version!

Real vector brushes would indeed be a big step up and I think have been on the user wishlist since forever.

I am just hoping they are not completely giving up on the iPad.

I really like having a pretty much feature complete version on the tablet.
But there is of course a reason that this is the exception…

Still, fingers crossed.

Awwww

Loving it! Happy Halloween Seson

So lovely!

That looks like one lovely spooky desk

This one is so adorable!

Oh I love the little duck!

Watercolor image of green and stone hills by the sea with white wildflowers in the foreground

A quick mini landscape with watercolors - inspired by our summer holiday in Donegal, Ireland.

Maybe you just need old fashioned pen pals and then you can use them!

Currently making envelop art for letters to the Irish family and it‘s super fun!

No tutorials, but other than adding textures I mostly use them together with clipping masks for very controlled edits.
Like instead of color adjustments I might add another subtle paint layer in overlay.

Aww, they are adorable.

Love the color and the nose!

Awww, looking good!

This looks so good! Congratulations

Looks awesome, congratulations

How very Atari of you… 😄

Watercolor painting of a layered mountain landscape

Not exactly abstract, but I had a whole lot of fun layering mountains.

Also was very happy with how the sky colors turned out.

They look phantastic

A series of watercolor paintings using moody colors and paint bloom effects to create a feel of a horizon with trees.

More watercolor sketches from the new class.
This time it was all on bloom trees.

I also attempted one that was not reading broody moody winter. But I hated it. So for now we shall stay with these and enjoy, that are is still some late summer days left.

Two watercolor sketches - one showing a landscape in greens, blues and brown. One showing a very abstract landscape in vibrant pinks, blues and greens.

I started a new class with the always fabulous @laurahornart.bsky.social
First sketches for abstract landscape and textures.
Very fun, very relaxing (ok, minus me finding out the new paper hates my standard tape…)

Cannot wait to do more exercises.

I was instantly intrigued seeing this - and apparently there is a Netflix series now?
I shall see if I can get the child interested in either reading or watching it

Those are Indigo, Phtalo Blue, Quinacridone Rose and Raw Sienna - all by van Gogh

Back to my sketchbook and watercolors.
First layer down for some abstract mini-compositions.

It‘s a very fun, relaxing exercise. Just take a colored pencil and scribble. This becomes the area for your color blobs on top.

So lovely. It reminded me of Flow.

I know you bailed, but I think you looked super sharp my love! 😘

The pizza will undoubtedly be better 😄

The snuggle is real!
