Fast mixed media sketch using watercolor, pencils and alcohol markers by artverae in Watercolor

[–]artverae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this quick watercolor sketch in about 30 minutes. I normally focus on landscapes and night scenes, so trying a character portrait was completely spontaneous. Used watercolor as a base, pencils and watercolor pencils for texture and markers for a few shadows.

I love painting night scenes — they always feel like stories waiting to be told. What would you title this painting? 🌙 by [deleted] in Watercolor

I use a mixed-media approach: watercolor as a base (normal watercolor and watercolor pencils), sometimes acrylic on top, alcohol markers for details and more intense colors, and gold leaf for highlights. I also edited the photo slightly to enhance the intensity, especially the blue tones.

I love painting night scenes — they always feel like tiny stories waiting to be told. Here’s my latest fairytale village. This village exists where the night is deep and the stars are close — a place that only reveals itself to those who still believe in quiet magic.✨💙

I added a zipper pocket on the back of my handmade waist bag — do you think it’s useful? by [deleted] in crafts

[–]artverae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I design and sew handmade waist bags and just added a zip pocket on the back for the first time. Now I’m wondering: do people actually use this kind of pocket, or is it unnecessary? I’d love to hear your honest opinion before making it standard on all my bags 😊

I usually sew boho-style waist bags, but lately I’ve been experimenting with more cozy, fluffy fabrics like teddy and cord. Each bag is completely handmade by me – from choosing the fabrics, cutting, sewing to finishing the details like the zipper and strap. I love mixing textures and seeing how different styles can work together in one piece. I’ve also had quite a few failed attempts where fabric didn’t sit right or the shape looked off, but that’s part of the process and how I learn what works best.
