I got to swap with the wonderful @Magpie in the recent Quote Me On That Swap She said she would like a painting, and provided me with a lovely quote to work with.
I started out with a vague idea, and the images and placement of the words evolved as I went along. It was a really enjoyable process. I mainly used Daniel Smith watercolours, I really like their Lunar Violet, which is the dark grey/violet over most of the top half of the painting. It was a lot of fun to paint!
This is just stunning. I love the way it transitions from spacy to earthy. The showcase of the phases is wonderful and the way the lettering fits is just perfection. Lovely work!!
This is really beautiful. Did you mask off the moon circle? It’s so pristine. I like how you did your lettering and the color palette and it’s just so pretty!
no, i just traced around a small plate. But I did have to paint very slowly and carefully, and allow lots of drying time between different sections. Masking might have been quicker though, I might try that next time!
Thsnks Jemimah!
One of the moderators is local to me and told a friend of mine, who told me about it. I was happy she did! I really loved craft swaps, though I stopped for quite awhile. (explaining why I had no idea the old website shut down.)
Glad to be here!

Congratulations! Your amazing work is one of this week’s featured projects!
