My winter line-up is here! I’ll be hosting creative illustration workshops around Southampton and online - book onto a class to join in the fun!
I’m so excited to return to my favourite local independent venues to teach my illustration workshops, where we learn how to use watercolour and gouache paints, as well as incorporating fineliner pens to create your own pieces of work inspired by winter and Christmas! I’m also teaching my signature Pet Portrait workshop too - great for an afternoon out with friends or to ‘brush up’ (ha) on your painting skills!

Read MoreWedding Stationery Design - Greg & Harriett
I had so much fun working on this bespoke wedding invitation suite for a couple who contacted me about designing their stationery. Wedding stationery is a business that I've always wanted to delve into, so with a resounding yes and a few conversations about what they were looking for, I created the following design:
The brief was to illustrate the date of the wedding in a heart shape for one invite, and then two invitations for the guest's info within an illustrated border. The watercolour painting was done by hand with a lovely spring time colour palette, and hand brush-lettering for the date. Scanned into Photoshop, I adjusted the levels to make the colours extra vibrant and clear, and I artworked the guest info on the bordered invitations.
I used Printed.com (as I do with my greeting cards) to print the invitations on their gorgeous nettuno stock. The paper is textured so it's lovely to touch without interfering with the finish of the illustrations. I also ordered the A5 envelopes to match.
I thoroughly enjoyed working on this commission, not only because creating the artwork and designs is so much fun, but to contribute to a couple's special day is really cool! I hope to design a range of customisable designs for my online shop, as well as working on more bespoke, one-of-a-kind commissioned suites.
