  • See that splatter of ink around the word delicate? That's life reality 😂 nothing is always perfect and mistakes happen. For every post that goes up on my Instagram or my blog, I ensure that atleast 2 practice sessions were a success ( forget the failed attempts) and then I go for the final version that goes up. For that final version too, I click photos using my DSLR camera because lighting 😂 and then I transfer to my laptop, some basic editing and compression of pic size in Photoshop. Then transfer to phone and again editing because i dont think even if my house is on fire, the lighting would be enough 😂 so a little more brightness to the picture. Then another twenty minutes to type captions, find hashtags, add location, tags etc etc and finally finally the posting. Seriously Instagram is really not insta for me 😊 what I paint tonight goes up the next day only and most of the days it's either 6 pm when I'm back from office or around 9 pm when I've finished all house duties and have put grace to sleep. I mean to say that so much thought process and efforts goes into posting that perfect picture. And today when I was selecting the painting to post from archives ( since yesterday's post already went up), I realised this one has ink splatters but then the caption was so apt - be a cactus in the work of delicate beautiful flowers. So I am leaving this pic to be the prick in the ocean of my pretty feed 😋. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #botanicalwatercolor #everydaywatercolor #watercolorart #botanicalpainting #floralwatercolor #dailywatercolor #watercolordaily #primawatercolor #thehungrycreatives #flowerillustration #botanicallinedrawing #floralillustration #watercolorpractice #looseflorals #modernflorals #floralwreath #artistsoninstagram #watercolorist #watercolorpainting #inspiring_watercolors #arts_promote #showmeyourflorals #watercolorlove #creativityfound #Illustrationsnow #tempuradesigns #botanicalart #botanicalpainting #creativityeveryday @watercolor.art.sketches @inspiring_watercolors @watercolor.blog @art_watercolor_life @prima_watercolor @arts.hub @watercolor.illustrations @watercolor_daily @tempura_design @art_spotlight
  • Jose is away for the week. Again! How my life changes when he is away : *Mornings are a marathon from making breakfast &lunch, getting grace to school and finally barely managing to check into office on time. *Afternoons are peaceful because any other day you can find me fighting with Jose over office matters ( that we could fight in front of colleagues 😋) . *Evenings are patience testing time as I have to rush to home at 530 , the grace to park ( so no garden time) , get her homework done (oh the most painful one ), get her to have dinner, put her to sleep. * Now comes the best part - after all the hurricane, the night becomes more peaceful and I love the rest it gives me after grace has slept. My creativity is at the best because the day was so crappy 😋 and I get to paint such pretty flowers. And after I wake up the next day, I wonder if I painted these or not! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #botanicalwatercolor #everydaywatercolor #watercolorart #botanicalpainting #floralwatercolor #dailywatercolor #watercolordaily #primawatercolor #thehungrycreatives #flowerillustration #botanicallinedrawing #floralillustration #watercolorpractice #looseflorals #modernflorals #floralwreath #artistsoninstagram #watercolorist #watercolorpainting #inspiring_watercolors #arts_promote #showmeyourflorals #watercolorlove #creativityfound #floralsyourway
  • I love everything about this picture except the tiny flowers and hearts that my hands drew without my permission. Does your hands too draw things without your permission ? 😂 The "hope" was supposed to come at the Center but it got left aligned and I don't know why I added those spoilers in an attempt to fill up the empty space. Thinking about it now, I should've painted a single rose or falling leaves or something to balance it out. Photographing my work actually gives me a new perspective. Makes me think new ideas, new presentation, new layout etc etc. All this effort is worth the knowledge gain 😊 by the way I had shared a video on painting these roses in my previous posts, also on my IGTV so have a look 😊 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #handletteredabcs #calligraphyindia #calligraphylover #calligraphyart #instacalligraphy #calligratype #calligrafriends #calligraphyaddict #calligraphylover #calligraphypractice #calligraphysg #calligraphycommunity #dailytype #caligraphydaily #pointedpen #pointedpencalligraphy #handwrittenfont #moderncalligraphy #dippencalligraphy #thedailytype #typespire #modernscript #lettering #modernflorals #watercolorflorals
  • Swipe to see the video for the lettering 😊 Autumn because that's the only kind autumn I can enjoy in India 😎 I have no clue what season this is because before atleast there was summer and monsoon but now it's shifting between summer monsoon everyother week and it's confusing! My plants need no water in fact they are starting to rot because of the unusual rains here at this time. I really wish we has distinct seasons here in India. How lovely it would've been right? But for right now the seasons in my paintings would suffice I guess 😆 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #watercolorflorals #watercolorleaves #everydaywatercolor #floralpainting #floralsyourway #watercolorist #inspiring_watercolors #watercolorlove #paintingeveryday #calligraphia #calligraphyph #calligram #calligraphylove #calligratype #typegang #autumnlettering #autumnlove #letterer #moderncalligraphy #modernlettering #handletteringvideo #letteringvideo #calligraphyvideo #calligraphylover #letteringindia
  • My mother had a fabulous handwriting. As school kids, having her write the names in our notebooks and names lips, having her write our project heading etc made us very happy. It was maybe when I was in 9th that I started trying to write like my mother but I couldn't match to the beaty of her handwriting . Then there was a girl in my class who had impeccable handwriting but that was not cursive but yet I tried to write like her and my handwriting was a mix of something. When I was in 12th there was a girl (again 😋) whose handwriting looked so mature and doctor like so I wanted to write like her. And then entered college and surprisingly I did not write like anyone because understanding something to take noted was so hard that I didn't have anything to write most of the time :P My current calligraphy craze started when I saw an article in @the_hindu on @typebymayank and how he started his calligraphy journey . Honestly , I was hooked and ever since then I have been researching and practicing a lot. My husband doesn't understand why on the first hand I need to practice my "handwritig" , neither does he understand the why I can't write with normal ball pen instead of buying nibs and inks and brush pens 😂 But for me , I think it's an obsession to master what I started. Sometimes I feel like I want to learn to sing and dance and when I tell that to Jose he starts laughing . Maybe I will but right now I wish 😋 but mostly, I don't want to bury my creative side under heap load of work and life stress. I think everybody has to have a side of themselves totally separated from work and family, like sports or some sort of hobby. What's your thing to unwind from by life? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #letteringvideo #letterer #moderncalligraphy #modernflorals #handmadefont #calligraphia #calligraphyph #calligram #calligragribe #handletteringvideo #bouncecalligraphy #typespire #typegang #goodtype #looseflorals #watercolorflorals #showmeyourflorals #floralsyourway #floralpainting #watercolorflowers #letteringindia
  • Sharing a 4x process video of watercolor roses. I learnt these u think I year back from @capriyacv and that time I made them in bright and bold colors . She manages this amazing group on Facebook called "journal your heart out" where a lot of journalling enthusiasts share their entries, tips and techniques. This loose florals in watercolor is something I picked from the group and I can get enough of these :) The amazing thing about watercolors is that it's a very forgiving medium and even if you make mistakes it's going to turn out to be pretty 😊 the full video from start till end is on my IGTV so please go and watch it there . Also let me know if I should take raw videos and upload on stories as live or take the pain to edit and upload them on insta/IGTV ? On a personal note, it's been a long week for me. My boss got relieved today on transfer to another station and we all bid farewell to him with very heavy heart. Monday is going to be the day when I have to start afresh at office . He has left a legacy of great perfection which might be burdensome on my shoulders but at least I should strive to be a good successor right? Wish me good luck for Monday :) Boss girl needs some good night's sleep for all that energy 😂 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #watercolorflorals #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #looseflorals -watercoloringvideo #showmeyourflorals #floralsyourway #watercolorroses #modernflorals #primawatercolor #botanicalpainting #floralpainting #artillusration #dailywatercoloring #thehungrycreatives #paintingcommunity #artistsofinstagram #everydaywatercolor
