I have finally finished digitising my garden series of mixed media illustrations. You can see the gallery here!
These illustrations form the foundation for my upcoming Lessons from my Garden Art + Wisdom cards, which will be available in my online shop soon!
One of the biggest lessons I learned from creating this series is the huge potential for digital tools to help me create finished products. The texture of watercolour paper does not seem to reproduce well in digital media. You can see what I mean by looking through my Hamilton fan art gallery. Thankfully, I have been teaching myself (with the aid of some amazing youtube videos) how to remove the texture of the paper from my images in Adobe Photoshop, and convert my art into vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator.
This will hugely assist me in creating an ENORMOUS range of products based on my artwork. Everything from fabric to art prints to phone cases is quickly becoming possible!
Thank you so much for your continued support. I can't wait to update you again soon regarding my artwork and small business journey.
