Ever thought about creating a travel sketchbook? Here’s a peek in mine ✏️✨⁣ ⁣ I started a travel sketchbook this year and it’s documented all of my travels from 2019 so far. It includes short breaks and longer ones, and is a really lovely way for me to highlight elements from each day.⁣ ⁣ I still take photos, that’s what I scrapbook for! I document those in a different way, but I really love this more compact and personal way of recording memories.⁣ ⁣ ⭐️ Head to the story highlights in my profile to see more of my travel sketchbook or scrapbooks 👉🏻📒 #blog
✨F A V O U R I T E P L A C E S🗺🌟⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ve travelled a lot this year, both abroad and closer to home. When it comes to short breaks in the UK, nothing calls me back quite like Brighton.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ I don’t know if it’s the wonderful treasure trove of The Lanes, the independent shops, the colourful people or simply the creative vibe, but I always feel so inspired.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I came home and felt the urge to paint, and this little gem appeared. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Is there anywhere that inspires you? Or is it just the feeling of somewhere different, and then the return home, that starts that little spark of creativity? #blog
There's something about messy paint palettes that I just love! These colours are mixed on a disposable tear off palette, meant for oils but also perfect for acrylics (and can be used for gouache like I have here). For watercolour, I use a plastic palette as, like gouache, these paints are water based and can be reactivated. It also means it's quick to clean up, but it does always make me a little sad seeing the colours washed away! #blog
Popping in with a bit of Wednesday wisdom! This is a super difficult one for me, and I’m sure a lot of people can relate. I experience emotions really strongly, and I’m slowly learning and teaching myself that *this is not a bad thing*. . An account that’s really helped me this year is @notesfromyourtherapist - so many good lessons in those little handwritten notes! If you know any other accounts like that, I’d love to hear 🙂 #blog
This is Laura, my twin sister, and tomorrow is our birthday! Laura is the opposite of me. She is strong, fierce, independent and headstrong. I’ve always admired her fearless decision making and confidence. We grew up clashing due to our differences; of me being the sensitive one and her not understanding why I would get so emotional. But for the last ten years, we’ve been inseparable best friends. There was a moment a couple of years ago that I’ll remember forever because to me, it marked a silent acknowledgement that although we are different, we will have each other’s back, always. I’d left something behind in a restaurant when we were in New York, and only realised when we were on the Subway. It was small and silly, but I was tired and emotional and the waterworks came anyway. She could have told me how silly I was being, and to snap out of it, but she didn’t. It felt like she had accepted that that was who I was, a crier when I’m tired and that was OK. She held my hand and led me through the subway as I cried through the crowds and didn’t let go of my hand even on the street as we walked through Times Square. We have so many inside jokes and phrases that make us laugh always, and we’ll be best friends until we’re old and grey. Happy birthday Lau! ♥️♥️♥️
I’m home from a week gallivanting in London and Barcelona. Both trips were amazing but there’s nothing sweeter than being back in your own bed 🙌🏻 I love travelling and experiencing new cultures, but I also love the feeling of coming home; the mundanities of everyday life and getting back to routine. These ladies are ready for the summer, but I didn’t quite manage to bring back the Spanish sun with me. Come on June, you can do better! ☀️ #blog
Life has been b u s y, and June’s crept up very quickly! It also means I’m off to Barcelona next week and I’ve done zero planning so I need some recommendations! Where to go, where to eat, what to do? Let me know in the comments and I’ll be super grateful :) P.S I feel like I’ve been away for ages, I hope you’re all doing well!
Technically, this piece is bad, but I had so much fun painting it I really don’t mind. I feel a bit rushed off my feet this past week trying to juggle everything, and this week is looking even busier! Maybe life will calm down a bit soon and I can catch my breath! HOW are we almost half way through May?! 😩 #blog
