Paint With Me | How to Paint Perfect Watercolour Trees in 3 Minutes
If you love painting trees just like me (hello! tree videos galore right here) then this one is for you.
All you need are some basics . . . a small palette of watercolours (or even a few fav. colours), a spray bottle (travel size is perfect), a paintbrush with a fine tip, and your favourite cardstock (it doesn't even have to be watercolour paper - I'm using heavy duty sketching paper here as it makes great swing tags).
In 3 minutes you will be loving your sweet little tree(s) and will be Christmas ready with your very own, handmade swing tags. Grab some festive cheer in a glass and let's do this!

Welcome to the Studio
I thought it was about time I introduced myself properly, dear Friends. My name is Kim Rowley and I am an Artist, Multidisciplinary Designer and Educator. I create most every day, and as you can see in this short video, my creative heart is reflected across a wide range of mediums and always in an organic manner. Although most of my work later becomes a tangible item that requires advanced digital skills, I love to begin with basic pencil sketches, ink and paint. More than anything, I believe that art is for everyone so you will always find budget friendly products here on my page.
Given that this is a new chapter for the Studio and me, I felt that I needed a new intro, and most definitely some new photos of me and what I do 📸 I’m still anxious in front of the camera (so please be kind) but I will be sharing more of me going forward as I celebrate all that I am, all that I create and those I hold dear ❤️

Create With Me | Practice Makes Perfect
Do you have a sketch book full of practice pieces and bare walls crying out for art? Then this quick vid is for you!
I am always playing with an idea, whether that be in ink, paint, pencil or all of the above. Some pieces turn out exactly as I hoped and others . . . well . . . not so much. That's all good as presence not perfection is what I strive for, but occasionally a little bit of inspiration strikes me. This sweet landscape is what became of one of those moments.
