Wednesday Whimsy: Watercolour

28 Mar 2012

These really beautiful watercolour paintings have caught my eye recently. My mum is an artist and watercolour is the medium she used most often while I was growing up. I remember playing with her paints, spending hours making a mess. Aren’t the colours and details amazing? They’re so versatile.

Jessica Durrant mixes watercolours and ink to create these amazing skyline pieces. I love the flicks and splashes.
Amber Alexander paints mostly animals and woodland creatures, the characters and expressions are amazing.
Amy Borrell‘s shop, cake with giants, is full of really subtle, sweet, illustrations and prints. She also illustrated some fantastic journals for Frankie Magazine - I want!
I can’t quite believe the depth of colour in Stina Persson‘s paintings. They’re so vibrant; I had a hard time picking just one to use here!
