My clients nostalgia for Calvin and Hobbes comic art (created by Bill Watterson) was the vision for their babies nursery. They requested it be true to the comic strips and have a watercolour look.
Creating a water colour effect with acrylic paint was a new fun technique I learnt along the way. It included many layers of thin paint, spraying of a water bottle followed by dabbing the paint off with rags multiple times to create the gritty watercolour texture and depth of colours.
Stephanie is a Melbourne-based artist that will happily work across many medium whether it’s a large wall, canvas, teepee, paper, you name it! She has been painting since she was old enough to hold a paintbrush and is in her happy place when she translates her ideas into artworks.
Inspiration is drawn from funny little moments in life that are relatable - sometimes adding a surreal aspects to emphasise the magic in these moments. Some of the reoccurring themes that present in her work are people in curious moments, quirky characters and how they navigate the world and challenges around them, our relationship to flora and fauna, and the occasional mind bending colourful visuals.
When I’m not painting, I enjoy a solo camp where I have time to reflect, meditate, and swim in rivers. I also enjoy other crafty activities like book binding, wreathe making, wood work, and much more.
