The other day, I received a lovely package in the mail from Canada. (I knew what was inside was beautiful but, quite literally, the packaging was lovely, which is no easy feat when shipping art.) The moment this piece was posted by Alanna, I knew exactly where I would put it on my wall. Fast forward, it’s framed and hung up in that spot and I am so grateful to @alannacartierillustration for sharing her talent, and love of painting beautiful, every day subjects, with the world. I love that I can take a pause, look up from my desk, and calm my mind. Thank you Alanna, for putting your work out in to the world. 🧡

Just a couple of flowers to wish everyone a happy weekend! .

Oh be still my nerd heart… many thanks to Angèle for leaving such an amazing review. I can’t begin to explain how much reviews (and taking the classes and sharing the projects) can truly make a day brighter! Thank you to every student who has done one or more on that list! Now, if you’ll excuse me… I have to get back to finishing my new class with a big old squishy, warm heart and a renewed sense of determination. Head to my profile for a peek at what’s next and to sign up to be notified when it’s released!

My next class is coming out this coming week but, in the mean time, check out my husband, Joe’s (@smiggyink) latest @skillshare class, all about creating your own visual prompts using intuitive scribbles! It’s a process Joe has been using for over 20 years for his own painting and he put together three different exercises to share the process with you. Find the link in my bio !

Many thanks to Peg, a student from “Surface Pattern Design: Efficiency Hacks in Affinity Designer & Photo” for the amazing review (thank you as well for the Academy Award… my family has been saying I should get one since I was a baby😉) Many thanks to everyone who has taken the class so far and extra thanks for those who have left reviews!

NEW TUTORIAL! Based on a question from a member in my Creator Collage community, in this tutorial, I show you how to use the new Vector Flood Fill in Affinity Designer, to create a perfectly symmetrical Yin-Yang symbol.

Ever pull a really large image, asset or other selection in to Designer and you have to go hunting for the edges to size it down? Stop. There’s a much quicker way… the Transform Panel. Check it out!
