Can I ask what camera or app you use to capture your art? Do you edit at all? The image quality is fantastic.

The finished pieces are scanned with an A3-sized scanner and color corrected with Photoshop, videos are edited with Premiere : )

Hii! Are there any plans to restock the luminous watercolouring book? Your art is so beautiful 💞

Thank you so much! 💕 Unfortunately no, the Luminous Watercolor Coloring book is a retired product so there aren't any plans on restocking them. Maybe some day in the future there will be time for a completely new coloring book : )

Autumn Ghost 🌻

I used Kuretake's ZIG Illustration set No. 2 and their Gansai Tambi Sumi Colors set for this spooky seasonal painting. Honestly the colours in the pan look like they could be black paint, right? So, I made it my mission to try to create a colourful piece with them, really happy with how the tones harmonize eachother! Thank you so much once again to Kuretake for sponsoring me!
