A hand drawn venue, one of my classic calligraphy scripts, gold foil printing on the most gorgeous rusty brown paper. With finishing touches of vellum and a custom monogram copper wax seal. I love how wedding invitations give your guests a first glimpse of your upcoming wedding. And having had the pleasure of capturing Lucy and Jason's wedding vision in this invitation suite I'm sure theirs will be an absolute dream ✨ . . . . . #weddingdetails #invitationdesign #weddingpaper #weddinginvite #weddingcalligraphy #custominvitation #weddinginvitation #customweddinginvitation #moderncalligraphyuk #inkartisan #moderncalligrapher #invitationsuite #prettypaper #papergoods #bespokeinvitation #calligraphyaddressing #waxseal #venueillustration #goldfoilprinting #goldfoil #velluminvitation — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3aoW44T

Calming green because that was exactly what I needed today. This kind of olive green is one of my favourite colours. I find it incredibly calming and soothing and want to fill my home with it 🌿 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/33HFQBr

Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely mums out there! I'm utterly in love with these biscuits decorated with pressed florals by Vaani @sugarplumbakeskingston . I think anyone receiving these would be so delighted, don't you? Besides being a brilliant wedding cake designer she's a wonderful mother, amazing at styling and an all around amazing person. She styled this beautiful flat lay with floral envelopes that I painted and calligraphed last week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To celebrate the mums around me in real life and in this lovely community I'm tagging just a few of the amazing mums that inspire me with their beautiful work and fab personalities! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope you've got the chance to spend some time with loved ones today. Unfortunately my mum, dad and sister got stuck in Sweden so we didn't get the chance to meet up in person as planned. But we had a celebratory video call and get to look forward to when we can see each other again x . . . . . #floralpaintings #carveouttimeforart #watercolorflorals #maketimeforart #creativityfound #doitfortheprocess #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #watercolorist #watercolor_guide #handmadecurator #fleetingfloralmoments #fleetingfloralstories #curiouscalligrapher #moderncalligraphy #pointedpencalligraphy #creativefolk #readmakegrow #moderncalligrapher #moderncalligraphyuk #fortheloveofpaper #inkartisan — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3dlRer3

Bright pink florals and buds 🌸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I seem to be reaching for the brightest of pinks in my palette at the moment. Painting and doing calligraphy is having a calming effect on my mood but I'm finding it hard to find the right thing to say in these captions. To not overthink it. So in the words of my lovely friend Vaani @sugarplumbakeskingston I’m going to do my best to show up, to keep talking and to keep sharing love and positivity xx — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/33AERTE

Pink florals 🌸 I'm feeling the need for beauty and inspiration right now and am doing my best to share some in here. Thank you for all your lovely messages about the daily paintings I'm sharing in my story. It makes me so happy to hear that you like them and that I can help bring some calm and brightness to this space xx — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3a1wxyv

Copper calligraphy on the softest tones of blush envelopes. These are on their way to Lucy and Jason's wedding guests and I can't wait to share you a few peeks of the invitation suite. It includes a venue illustration of a beautiful chateau in gold foil amongst other dreamy details ✨ — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2vXV3C1

Painting white flowers was one of the things I found the most daunting at the start of my watercolour journey. Because how do you mix the perfect white? Especially if you have no white in your palette. With watercolour I usually don't, with gouache I sometimes do. Either way I always start by mixing tones of red, blue and yellow. Maybe adding a hint of something to get a special tone of white I'm looking for. And with gouache sometimes adding a bit of white if I want a more opaque look. If you look closely you'll find lots of beautiful tones of colours in white petals. And nowadays I love mixing together those colours to create the gentle shades of the flowers. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2xAIyN6

A little mid-week dose of flowers for you 🌿 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This week is all about deadlines for me for upcoming exciting projects. So I'm spending a lot of time with my brushes and nibs and not as much time here. But I can't wait to share what I'm up to with you. On that note I hope you're not getting bored of these sketchbook posts. I love how it's allowing me to share more of what I'm creating right now. With the calligraphy I do I tend to have to wait until after weddings, events or after editorials have been published. And it doesn't help that I'm sometimes terrible at remembering to share by then 😅 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/33bNpQH

Getting into that Friday feeling! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm spending today doing all my favourite things. Painting and doing calligraphy for a beautiful upcoming styled shoot. One of my rules that I've set for myself is to try to keep some time free from client work on Friday afternoons. That way I have a set time each week to spend some time exploring painting or calligraphy just to enjoy the process without worrying about the end result being perfect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you do anything as a special Friday treat to get into the right mood for the weekend? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wishing you a wonderful Friday and weekend x . . . . . #createeveryday #calledtobecreative #doitfortheprocess #creativelifehappylife #art_we_inspire #ihavethisthingwithcolor #beautyyouseek #creativesofinstagram #lifeofanartist #thenativecreative #madetocreate #herestothecreatives #moodcollectors #momentsthatmattertome #artists_center #createmagazine #natureinspiredart #thestudiosource #mybeautifulstories #beautyofstillmoments #folkandstory #alliseeispretty #livemoremagic #myhappyviews — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2wuUXl7

It's something about the texture of handmade paper that I just find so wonderfully romantic and timeless. Here used to bind vow books by hand, finished off with a beautiful silk ribbon from @cfleursdesign . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bookbinding is one of those things I don't do quite as often as I'd like. But I love every opportunity to bring out my tools and spend some time sewing the pages together. . . . . . #curiouscalligrapher #moderncalligraphy #pointedpencalligraphy #creativefolk #worksonpaper #womanartist #seekinspirecreate #handsthatmake #readmakegrow #moderncalligrapher #moderncalligraphyuk #fortheloveofpaper #inkartisan #handmadebooks — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/39niQK0

I’m starting to fill up quite a few of the pages of my sketchbook with colourful paintings. Thoroughly enjoying this morning practice of creativity. With it being in my sketchbook and not on that perfect piece of watercolour paper I also find I worry less about the outcome and just enjoy the experience and experimentation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wishing all of you a lovely new week ✨ . . . . . #createeveryday #calledtobecreative #doitfortheprocess #creativelifehappylife #worksonpaper #womanartist #seekinspirecreate #watercolor_gallery #watercolor_art #aquarellepainting #aquarella #watercolor_planet #natureinspiredart #artforyoureveryday #creativityfound #createeveryday #thestudiosource #artforyourwalls #moodcollectors — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/39hcz2e

Not calligraphy or painting related but something I find very important (and I squeezed in a couple of paintings in the photo). Some of you may have seen me sharing that I'm continuing to switch to more natural and environmentally friendly products this year and I just wanted to recommend @wildsageandco to anyone trying to do the same. Other than that I'm in love with their rose lip balm and clay face mask I've finally found a shampoo bar that I really enjoy using. I have very long thick hair and most bars seem to make it feel like the product is all still in my hair (not the best of feelings). But this one is working beautifully for me. After I've rinsed out the shampoo I sometimes use an apple cider vinegar rinse (a few tablespoons of vinegar mixed with 500ml water) which helps make my hair extra smooth and shiny. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you been changing up the products you use in an effort to be more environmentally friendly? Or have any tips for how to reduce plastic waste? Are there any brands you recommend for me to have a look at? 🌿 . . . . . #aslocalaspossible #lesswaste #plasticfree #ecoliving #coldprocesssoap #ethicalakincare #naturalskincare #thewildnesstonic #flowersandotherstories #joyspotting #makingmyhaven #slowsimpleseasonal #printsandpatterns #floralpaintings #watercolorflowers #watercolorflorals #flowerpainting #surelysimpleart #surelysimplepainting #surelysimplechallenge #watercolorist #watercolor_guide #alovefornaturesbest #fleetingfloralstories #underthefloralspell #flowerupyourlife #inspiredbypetals #watercolorflowers #botanicalpainting #botanicalart — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2HWZJKQ

A painting with lots of pink to brighten up the start of the week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pink is definitely one of those colours that make me think of spring. I've seen some flowers start to pop up around London but the weather has been quite gloomy. So until the parks are full of flowers again I've set myself a challenge to do a quick painting per day in my sketchbook. I'm sharing videos from this in my story if you want to follow along ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope all of you have a great week! . . . . . #inspiredbypetals #originalart #dsfloral #winsorandnewton #watercolorpainting #watercolour #floraldesign #floral #watercolorflowers #flowers #botanical #nature #greenery #darkfloral #flowerpainting #botanicalpainting #botanicalart #watercolorbouquet #bouquetpainting #chooselovely #makeitblissful #slowlivingforlife #aquietstyle #seekinspirecreate #thisishowihueit #stillwithstories #calmversation #morningscenes #gatheredstyle #smallmomentsofcalm — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3c874Fh

Happy Friday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I loved everything about Amy's @thetimelessstylist vision for this wedding. There's something about doing the wedding day details by hand that just feels so special to me and I hope the couple and guests feel all that love that goes into it too. . . . . . #memoiresofasummer #thisishowihueit#readmakegrow #seasonspoetry#grinandshareit #moderncalligrapher#moderncalligraphyuk #bespokewedding#moderncalligraphysummit#fineartweddingboutique #ukletterers#ukcalligraphy #londonweddings#handmadewedding#calligraphyforweddings #petitejoys#modernlettering #makelight#theinstaretreat #alittlebeautyeveryday#inspiredbypetals #creativelifehappylife#bevisuallyinspired #prettycreativestyle#fineartwedding #dailydoseofpaper#paperlove #weddingcalligraphy#weddingdetails #inkspiration — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2PdWdzx

A photo from an afternoon when the light shone so beautifully through my studio window. Casting shadows over my favourite brushes and paints. I've been sharing more behind the scenes in my stories of painting and you've been intrigued by the brush to the left. It's one of my favourites at the moment and I love the pointed tip of it. For everyone that's been curious about it it's from the Princeton Neptune Oval Wash series and available at @jacksons_art ✨ . . . . . #createinspring #floralpaintings #carveouttimeforart #watercolorflorals #surelysimplepainting #maketimeforart #abeautifulmess #alovefornaturesbest #fleetingfloralmoments #fleetingfloralstories #underthefloralspell #flowerupyourlife #fromgardentovase #womensupportingwomen #lifeandthyme #foragefolk #thesincerestoryteller #wonderandcreate #chooselovely #makeitblissful #aquietstyle #thatauthenticfeeling #stillwithstories #calmversation #openuptowinter#embracingtheseasonsathome #cornersofmyworld #nestandflourish #gatheredstyle #byarrangementflorist — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/38EhwSM

I've been painting this afternoon away. Feeling the calm wash over me as I gently swirl my brushes through the paints, letting them mix to those dreamy rich yet soft hues. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you drawn to really bright colours?
