Watercolor

I'm Marissa, one of the moderators here and I'm excited to be part of this creative community!

I have been drawing and painting for many years. In recent years though I discovered watercolor and it quickly became one of my favorite mediums.

I enjoy painting florals, animals, spooky-cute things like bats and ghosts, really anything nature related and whimsy. I do draw the occasional portrait too. I've attached a few of my watercolor pieces so you can get to know my style a little better.

Whether you are just starting your watercolor journey or you've been painting for years, I hope this becomes a space where we can encourage one another, learn new tips, techniques, share our work and enjoy the creative process together.

I would love to get to know you too!

I have this little gnome character that ive made little comic strips of in watercolor and someone commissioned me to do a full illustration of the gnome and a crocodile character playing music. I love how it turned outt.
