Having been at school most of the weekend I’ve had little time for creative pursuits. However I randomly painted a study of a unicorn. Top tips! -use an oversized brush, then you can leave brush marks bold. -add layers of paint from dark to light. -don’t be afraid of challenging subjects, turn your work upside down to paint!

What drawing or painting technique shall I cover in tomorrow’s live painting session?? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

Putting my best foot forward as an artist means not just painting, but also stepping in front of the camera. I love sharing my colourful creations with the world, hoping they bring a little light and joy into someone’s day. Today was Photoshoot day (not my easiest job!) but with the help of my husband and son snapping away, I now have a whole bundle of new photos to share my owl paintings with you. Which painting is your favourite?
