Custom Watercolour Commission: The Fashion Cookbook

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">I was recently contacted by Patricia and Hannah, the adorably chic founders of <a href="http://www.thefashioncookbook.com/"><span style="color: #ea9999;">The Fashion Cookbook</span>,</a> to help design a watercolour image for their site redesign. The pair wanted me to create something inspired by this image from their home page, with a champagne glass pouring a necklace into a glass filled with rings. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5b2vA-P338bliom6HxYgW2_WqKqC_C0ggbp8rymVpJqUf3tL5DxaVdr9JImQUnI4n94K65v5Flb78cDeh6P0pzwkSymdSWPtRcVZodH1DxHuKrC5ZruqmAFWJJcdVn7Xv6UDKmsb3tqo/s1600/the+fashion+cookbook+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5b2vA-P338bliom6HxYgW2_WqKqC_C0ggbp8rymVpJqUf3tL5DxaVdr9JImQUnI4n94K65v5Flb78cDeh6P0pzwkSymdSWPtRcVZodH1DxHuKrC5ZruqmAFWJJcdVn7Xv6UDKmsb3tqo/s1600/the+fashion+cookbook+1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">With this inspiration in mind, I painted them this charming little watercolor for their '<a href="http://www.thefashioncookbook.com/contact/"><span style="color: #ea9999;">contact</span></a>' page:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMZtQPE5Jch2Uts0fYkGslIh3V3PU3gc58nySmWNKlY5Xtb0Lr0w98ELuiTWFcW7rQkLkZlLeolSa6xrF3QnB-CHkhmkC6YBDwwaM1s5Ako-ezLCg8ADz19wPO1UlhSZIsdj4-vP-ArHg/s1600/fashion+cookbook.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMZtQPE5Jch2Uts0fYkGslIh3V3PU3gc58nySmWNKlY5Xtb0Lr0w98ELuiTWFcW7rQkLkZlLeolSa6xrF3QnB-CHkhmkC6YBDwwaM1s5Ako-ezLCg8ADz19wPO1UlhSZIsdj4-vP-ArHg/s1600/fashion+cookbook.png" /></a></div>I love the final result, the whole renovation of the site looks fabulous and the girls were so lovely to work with.

Watercolour Wednesday: Moody and Mirrored

<div style="text-align: center;"> Another watercolour from my rendering class last term, practicing again from "<a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Interior-Design-Illustrated-Watercolor-Techniques/dp/1563675315" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Interior Design Illustrated: Marker and Watercolor Techniques</span></a>" by Christina M. Scalise. We were experimenting with using large, abstract brushwork. I love the dramatic aesthetic of this one! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSoPHSuQeUDW8greEkh1oFWcR4St69WTpzCSH3TcF8nlgMugCHlZ8nS7smgbAPGfABPEbSjIYe3IlRtlJhyphenhyphengjG4evEcdINh_Uyn_FxLqmU5bR5QNX5BtTXUnLIuhN8zt3Howp5NRe8ONk/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSoPHSuQeUDW8greEkh1oFWcR4St69WTpzCSH3TcF8nlgMugCHlZ8nS7smgbAPGfABPEbSjIYe3IlRtlJhyphenhyphengjG4evEcdINh_Uyn_FxLqmU5bR5QNX5BtTXUnLIuhN8zt3Howp5NRe8ONk/s1600/023.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Ps.

Watercolour Wednesday's: Shiny Floors

<div style="text-align: center;">Last term my entire rendering class was done using watercolour, so I have a lot to show you! This week, I'm sharing a practice exercise we did based on page 21 of "<a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Interior-Design-Illustrated-Watercolor-Techniques/dp/1563675315" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Interior Design Illustrated: Marker and Watercolor Techniques</span></a>" by Christina M. Scalise. This is one of my favourite books that I've had to buy for school.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHhhHkUAobzqfcdLBrBQrqpWDfavPmyD60IgHsT9oYc9NUZQI-Nx1WDio45kOU2tmtIOR0PEDDcyuUU0ROs7hETv7OauMnptpD-igW_CzoaPPo8p4fhiu4Y_UyOHZt2usEA12KlPnAqA/s1600/018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHhhHkUAobzqfcdLBrBQrqpWDfavPmyD60IgHsT9oYc9NUZQI-Nx1WDio45kOU2tmtIOR0PEDDcyuUU0ROs7hETv7OauMnptpD-igW_CzoaPPo8p4fhiu4Y_UyOHZt2usEA12KlPnAqA/s640/018.JPG" width="456" /></a></div>I love the way this painting turned out and I really feel that the floors look successfully shiny (maybe even a little slippery!).
