Florence illustration

 

Last year, when we had the chance to visit the beautiful city of Florence, I felt so inspired with everything we saw, that I had to draw/paint the city landscape.

I used the combination of watercolor and gouache and I truly enjoyed creating this city landscape and also using it for variety of products: prints, home decor and wallpaper too.

You can find the prints& home decor-stationary products in my Redbubble shop:

The wallpaper is coming in two variations:

In earthy colours and

Original, watercolor   

Spoonflower is offering also a variety of living & decor + bedding products that are great even because the repeat scale can be easily adjusted, upon needs.

So many possibilities to choose from;)

Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions,

Workshop with Marcella Brancaforte

Last week we had the pleasure of being involved in the great workshop held at the Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade and conducted by fantastic Italian illustrator Marcella Brancaforte
It was offered by the Italian Cultural Institute in Belgrade







The kids had pleasure of listening the old Sicilian fairy tale "La Bella dalla stella d'Oro", looking at Marcella's gorgeous illustrations from the book and drawing something that was related with the story.





The workshop was organized as part of the 48th Children's October Salon, where my sister's sons got the first award;)

Inspiring flowers

I have been doing a lot of drawing, painting and sketching lately. With a tablet and with a hand, depending on a subject or eventual final use of it. I feel so inspired. And I feel a bit guilty of not sewing much lately. But I am just like that, some days you will find me mesmerized with the ideas for the textile and surface design, some days with creating some new cute dresses and wardrobe pieces, or creating new patterns for them and sometimes I just want to photograph things or to paint or to be crafty in other way. And there are days when I just want to enjoy my kids and doing my routine homework;)



In this time of the year, there are beautiful, colorful flowers everywhere around (naturally in the country side, and not in the city;) and so each weekend becomes a feast for the eyes. It's also so incredible how the nature change from a week to a week, and just when you plan to do some more of this and that (flower) you realize that it's gone. But, the new species are up....blooming.....and I'm driven by theirs beauty.















Have a wonderful weekend,
Katarina

More wonderland..

Sorry for the long pause. I was absolutely taken and obsessed by/with the Wonderland illustrations that I created so many designs and watercolour inspired collections:
wonderland
wonderland 2 as one collection can have "only" up to 35 designs
watercolour dots
watercolour chevrons my favorite one as far
watercolour butterflies and
large scale watercolor summer florals
And the time was wonderful, kids had small Vacation and we spent so much time outside, at the countryside. We had a friends visiting as well. And we had some lovely animal visitors. Little birdie (that made a nest in one angle of the terrace of the house) and not so little green lizard. Kids always have blast there and hate to return to the city. Me too;)

There are the first peonies for this year blooming. So gorgeous.

I should paint some, while in the painting mood:)

































So, here are some more Wonderland designs...



Happy May!!!(can't believe it's May already!)
