I have another wedding invitation suite for you this month! I created this set for a fall wedding in Pennsylvania. The bride and I worked together to create this floral-themed set full of reds, oranges and greens. See photos of the final designs here!

WINTER WEDDING INVITATIONS
Watercolor, Design, WeddingWATERCOLOR TUTORIAL: NIGHT SKY
Tutorial, Watercolor, SuppliesSometimes I get custom watercolor requests (which I love) and recently an old friend asked me to create a custom painting based on a John Donne poem, "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning." After reading the poem I was inspired to paint a night sky and the goal was a dark and beautiful sky (think evening a storm is rolling in) overlaid with the image you get when you take a long shutter-speed photo of the stars. I've published a post dedicated to the creative process behind the painting but, for now, I'll just share a few tips about how to paint the sky I created for this painting.

In this post I'll walk you through the inspiration I drew from the poem to create the final image I painted and I'll show you how, through many draft paintings, I moved from an idea in my head to a final painting.
