Taking #minimalism to the #Chinoiserie dimension with some #Miró for blatant disregard for the “rules” Calming, meditative image that’s meant to declutter the mind so that you can regain focus #digitalart #digitalpainting #painting #art #abstractart #artist #blueskyart
Aphid collaboration. I shall call him: FRED
The finished cherry blossoms… :) with a lovely blue sky with billowy clouds and simple cherry blossoms with gold ink centres
The cherry blossoms the wee bug helped me paint, thanks lad…I need better masking tape, mind. Yikes…. #cherryblossoms #chinoiserie #watercolour #artist #invertebrate #bluesky #bsnm
Today’s tiny dock art. Faffing around with cherry blossoms. Added little gold details when I got back… practising trees and foliage and methods for a commission I have
Today’s little #unsoliciteddockpic is all about the cherry blossoms and trying out ways to make thin lines and tree branches and foliage and stuff (for a commission) - everything always plays into everything I do. Nothing is ever wasted… #art #arttherapy #watercolour #chinoiserie
New rabbit hole video for those interested in #fonts, #houses, #design, house numbering, and post office mail delivery. #chinoiserie?, #colonial? something else?

First attempt at Chinoiserie. Colour contrast a bit off. A bit stilted - but a nice start. Will be fun to improve and try and incorporate the ethos into my other practise a bit… simplification always good in my “tendency to overdo things” style
Quick little tiny scruffy study on a paler background - deffo need to bump up colours
Hmmm. Ok then… needs work. But it’s fun :) and these brushes are great!

On croit voir de la “chinoiserie” victorienne… et pourtant, ces porte-allumettes en porcelaine semblent presque sûrement venir des Pays-Bas : du Delftware, vers 1880–1920. 🧧✨
Comme quoi, les voyages commencent parfois sur une étagère.

Rare silk dyed with river mud? Yes. This is 'Fragrant Cloud Yarn.' It takes 30+ steps of hand-crafting to create this incredible matte texture. Less like fashion, more like wearable heritage. The embroidery is just perfect. 🦋✨ #Xiangyunsha #SlowFashion #Embroidery #Oriental #Hanfu #Chinoiserie
