Here’s a video on why I only use a pen to sketch ✅ Hope you try it out, it has helped me tremendously to streamline my process and improve faster ☺️💕

Lately I’ve been (once again) very much into sketching tiny characters in huge settings. I want to make a series of paintings with this theme so I’ve been taking pictures of tiny trinkets that I come across so that I could incorporate them into my paintings 💕✨

Dawn 🌷
Continuing with the theme of tiny characters in huge surroundings. Really happy with the glowy effect. Lately I noticed that the watercolor paper texture my home scanner makes is very prominent compared to the Epson at my studio 😅

Cold weather calls for warm drinks! One of my favorites is hot cocoa that we often made in my family during the coldest months. I epecially remember the adventures where we walked on the frozen sea on a sunny day and shared a hot cocoa from a thermos ☺️💕 Mugs now up in my shop!💫
*EDIT* Shop is closed for the holidays! Thank you for all your support this year💕
Here’s a flip through for the 2024 Calendar 💕✨ Thank you for all your 2024 Calendar orders! Due to the amount of orders I’m going to have to close the shop earlier than anticipated so that we have the time to process all orders. The shop will remain open for 12 hours, so if you’d still like to get something I recommend acting fast. Also please use the DHL Express shipping option if you want to receive your order before the holidays. Our shop is based in Finland (Europe) so most orders made with other shipping options will not make it in time for the holidays! My shop will open again next year! 💕✨
Shop is now open! In addition to enamel mugs, remaining calendars for 2024 are now available 💕
