Athens, crabs and goodbye

Wednesday blogpost #3

Wanna know what I have been doing the past two weeks?
Yeah?
First I went to Athens for a vacation while my husband was in a training there.
I had a little bit of everything, tanning at the beach because our hotel was located right at the beach in Kavouri area,  lots of sightseeing, and a day at the spa.

I also had a little bit of time to make few illustrations for a May's Make Art That Sells Bootcamp assignment which was to create a set of plates from crustacean pattern imagery.
I made couple of illustrations of different crabs and couple of colorful patterns, all in watercolors. After scanning them and editing them in photoshop I started working on a plate design, combining all the icons together. Really amazing assignment and I hope I will have time to make more of them just for fun. Looking forward to our next and last assignment in June :D
You can find a gallery with over 250 designs from different artists on this link (mine is on a page 4 :D).





And yesterday I said goodbye to my artsy friends from my handmade community QatART. In less then a month we are moving for good from Qatar. They prepared a sweet heartwarming gift for me, a jar full of their messages which made me cry :( I will for sure miss all my friends and all I have built in this four and a half years here in Doha.

Poster for The Global Art Gathering

Wednesday blog post #1

This month Make Art That Sells (MATS) Bootcamp for artists assignment was to make a poster with lettering for the Global Art Gathering in Brighton in June. Oh, I so wish I could go, it looks so cool and the event and all around the event sound amazing.

This is my submission for this month's assignment and you can see the gallery with around 300 designs from other artists in this bootcamp on this link.

For this assignment I decided to use gouache and color pencils.
