More stars!

It seems I have become almost obsessed with the stars right now, spending hours looking at the constellation app on my phone, doodling as much as possible, studying galaxy images... I'm not sure what's gotten in to me!

But two more constellations have been added to the mix, this time Chamaeleon (the chameleon constellation) and Vulpecula (the fox constellation)

These were fun but I seemed to lose my technique halfway through and ended up having to lighten them up a lot before adding the stars and animals. Luckily these are done in watercolour, a quick wet brush and towel and paint is lifted with ease!

The thing that drove me insane whilst working on these two was not doing a red fox, painting him blue/purple felt ridiculously wrong! You can see the small splashes of orange where I was desperately wanting to add something :P

These guys will be scanned soon and may end up on my redbubble page :)

And on the mention of redbubble I've added Ursa Major and Corvus to my shop! I have to admit Corvus looks fab on so many products, my favourite has to be this cushion!!

If you're interested in my designs please use the link to my shop at the top of the page! :)

I also managed to complete my raptor designs! And was lucky enough to recieve a surprise voucher from redbubble so me and the OH have ordered our designs for free!!

I'm super excited for them to arrive!

It's always an amazing experience to see your work printed on to a product, whether it's a print or a tshirt. I love it, I love the buzz of joy that zooms through me :)

So the moment these tops arrive I will probably be bouncing off the walls!!

I will be posting more about my raptors before the end of the week including the designs and a bit of an explanation to why they are appearing and taking over my life.

I also have a rather huge project planned which needs to be started over the next few months to be available by the end of the year to early next year, this is currently all I can say on the matter, you know.... just to be annoying!

Now, the sun is out, the birds are singing, I've hit my limit of work for the day! Time to go relax and enjoy the world!

Have a wonderful day!

The Constellation Series

No, I can't think of a better name for them just yet!

So, in my last post I left a sneak preview of a constellation painting I'd done, I'd also mentioned the chance of me continuing with the theme and I have!

Okay, so I've only gotten up to two so far although I am currently sat next to two more works in progress so the list is growing! Although I have around forty to make if I'm going to stick to the animal constellations! I truly had no idea there were so many animals up there! What a zoo!

Although what an amazing zoo that would be to visit! Star animals, anyone?

These guys are painted in watercolours on A5 (ish!) sized watercolour paper and the details are added in with white paint. They're lots of fun to work on, especially the galaxy background, that's more fun than it should be ;) And who can not have fun throwing paint around? 

So currently we have Corvus.

And Ursa Major

Next on the list... probably something a little on the foxy side ;)

You can also get your paws on these designs at my redbubble page here!

Go check them out, I have to admit Corvus looks extremely appealing... 

I also want to say a huge thank you again to everyone who has supported me lately by liking, favouriting, following and buying! You can't imagine the pure joy I get when I receive these notifications.

If you can, I highly recommend going out in the evenings and looking up to the night sky, the stars are absolutely stunning right now. Look out for Ursa and Corvus! They're up there somewhere!

Have a beautiful week :)
