Light me Up
I’m trying something a bit new, which involves pencil in the face and hands. Normally I would have done it in watercolour or ink, but I really like the soft effect of the pencil.
Hand drawn cards
Sometimes I think it’s funny that I started a greeting card company because I basically have never bought a greeting card in my life: I have always drawn or made them by hand, which I suppose makes sense. Some of my friends and family are fortunate enough to get an original hand drawn cards (I hope they think so too!).
Here is a selection of illustrated cards:
This card is a French language play on words. I wanted to congratulate my friend on becoming a lawyer, and the French word for lawyer is “avocat”, which also mean “avocado”. Hence, an avocado in a party hat. Done in ink and pencil crayon.
We dogsat my friend’s dog over the winter while her family wintered in Mexico. This is a birthday card featuring an illustration of her dog in a Mexican sombrero.
This is a simple “raising a cup” to my friend for graduating from law school.
Guatemala
I did this one a few years ago and still really love it. I’ve been consistently trying to mix brighter watercolor washes and create more texture and contrast in my paintings. I feel like this one is quite effective.
