What’s in My Art Studio?

 

I am budgeting time during September and October to focus on some of my personal artwork.

​

The projects range from cards and paintings to organizing older pieces for digital posters and other products. Some images will be given a new life, while others will be retired as I begin to shape a more focused collection. I plan to create several ballet dancer paintings and ballet art studies during the second half of 2026. The first original watercolour in the series is Ballet Slippers, now available as a printable fine-art card in the Digital Cards collection.

​

I occasionally film original watercolour painting studies for practice or simply on a whim and share the creative process on YouTube. This Red-winged Blackbird painting is one of those pieces. Inspired by Canadian birds and wetland wildlife, the original watercolour has now been converted into a printable 5" × 7" fine-art card. A coordinating Red-winged Blackbird fine-art poster will be available soon.

​

Most of my artwork is created in watercolour these days. I have discovered that the medium speaks to me a little more strongly than acrylic, although I still enjoy working in different styles. I continue to create small illustrations and occasionally accept commissions when the project and timing are right.

​

For the rest of this year, my focus will be on finishing my personal illustrations, developing new cards, and building my collection of digital artwork.

​

We will see how it all comes together under the Dawn McNaught banner.

For now, I am simply happy to have the time and space to return to my own art.

​

Please check back for digital artwork for your home, printable greeting and seasonal cards, and a few crafts you can print and enjoy for your own use.

​

My larger pieces will be shown locally, and I am also creating a place on the website where you will be able to view them. I am working on that now.

I'll post a link here when it's completed.
