Art vlogs, draw with me & material review videos 🌿 On a journey to become a better artist...
I'm Evelyne, freelance illustrator for fantasy games and books, and I'm posting my own art practice journey as I try to get better at anything and everything, from portraits to landscapes, charcoal to oil pastels. I also enjoy going very much in-depth in my art material reviews...
Painting mostly in acrylics and watercolors - and nowadays gouache - with the occasional digital sketch and lots of oil pastels.
I'm a Swiss artist living in South Korea, travel sketching on Jeju Island.

I haven't forgotten about gouache! Even in the throes of new fountain pen inks and lots of watercolor paints, I always return to gouache palettes for studies... 🌙💙🌳
A study of Friedrich Frank's 'Prague Cathedral' in the Holbein Irodori Autumn set, and then we head into Mirkwood with a study of a John Howe painting (more Irodori gouache!). Do you have a favorite? 🥰
While I'll never not be annoyed with the beige paper color of the Talens Art Creation sketchbook, it's still one of my most-used ones. 🤷 Weird how that works out sometimes! Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with this particular sketchbook?

Maybe, one day, I'll dare use a larger watercolor brush... I'm really happy with how this video turned out 🖌️ https://youtu.be/QyuRgPjnyX4 🖌️ AND hopefully the audio is much improved, too!
I've started packaging postcards. 💌

Remember the Hwawon oil pastels? Which had to stop production? Good news!
It looks like they're coming back! 🌿
You can follow their lead artist here: www.instagram.com/____hwawon/ and I'm sure she'll post more detailed updates in the future.
I talked about these oil pastels in a past video, in which I sketched Baroque art inspired studies. The colours are so beautiful and truly unique!

I just ordered the postcard set for this month's snail mail! (And the larger art print, as well 💜🌿) I'm really happy with how this watercolour study turned out, and I hope you like the bonus ink sketch, as well! The painting process video is nearly finished, so I plan on posting that sometime next week. 🥰
And by the end of the month, the waterproof fountain pen ink I ordered should arrive, so I can try to combine my two current sketching obsessions: inks and watercolour!

So... I'm very much in love with these paints! I was worried that a large set like this would be overwhelming, but as they're all single pigment paints, it feels very intuitive to mix with them, getting exactly the undertones and even granulation I'm looking for.
To practice with the Mission Gold Pure Pigment watercolors, I picked a John William Waterhouse painting as reference. Master studies are always a great way for me to explore a new medium, since I can just focus on the colors themselves and not worry about the composition too much. 😅 Though I still (hopefully!) brought my personal character portrait style to this study!
I'm slooowly editing the footage of this painting process, so if you want to learn together with me and watch me struggle with wet-on-wet techniques, that should be coming this weekend!
(And this is also the membership/Patreon postcard for this month! 💜🌿)

A new video~ with limited palette swatches & a late-night painting process... https://youtu.be/o1-WmPHXq6Y
The Zorn palette is what I used when I first got started with acrylics, so this felt very nostalgic! Even if you don't paint in acrylics, but maybe with gouache, oils, or even watercolors, hopefully my ramblings on color mixing and the painting process overall are still interesting! :)

I tried something a bit different: Watercolor first, lines second!
For an illustration I started ages ago and that needed some reworking before I can finish the first paint layer, I wanted to redesign two characters. I used watercolors to roughly capture the pose (which couldn't change!) and then fountain pen lines on top to think about costume options. 💙
I still want to get my hands on a waterproof ink option so I can do the opposite, as well, but this was really fun and helped me think step-by-step. :)

I'm having a great time with the Fude De Mannen pen! (and shimmering "I am a Cat" ink... 🐈) But also, should I paint a master study of this Waterhouse painting, Hylas and the Nymphs, with watercolors? I like how the fountain pen sketch turned out and now I'm tempted to give it another try with color... 👀

A short sketchbook session for the approaching weekend: https://youtu.be/0mQMmu3zfPA 🐎 Granulating watercolors, long-legged horses, and how different art supplies influence my art style. 😊
