Finished Poppet and a WIP

Poppet, watercolor painting by Bre

finally, i've finished working on Poppet. it's really hard to work with just b&w, thank goodness Poppet is a redhead! but i guess that's the magic of Le Cirque de Reves. and if it did exist, i want to be a reveur, an ultimate fangirl of the circus.

and now here's a sneak-peek at Tsukiko, Le Cirque de Reves' very own contortionist and a former "game" contender

How to Catch a Unicorn

what is it about unicorns that make it a constant subject for art? well, for me, it's their beauty, their strength, and delicateness that only virgins can capture them. and here's one captured now.

what about you, have you been intrigued by a unicorn lately?

new animals in watercolor

sharing with you some of the new items in my Etsy shop.

Shaman Cat

Parent and child Pheasant

Mother and Child Shishigami

i particularly enjoyed painting the Shaman Cat.

bunnies

here's a sketch of one of the items in my shop, from the parent-child series. bunnies are such adorable creatures, but I don't see myself enjoying them as pets (I find them boring). below is the fully rendered version of the sketch with some minor changes.

i wish i had a nursery to put this painting in. it would've been perfect!

PopkinGarb Post Hiatus

Finally, after a long break PopkinGarb is back. I have made changes to my Etsy shop however, it's now entitled La Mer de Reve. there are also revisions in the product line up, and I think it's best if you check it out yourselves. just a sneak peak...

Sneak a Peek: La Vie En Rose

a glimpse of my work area

here's what's i've been up to lately. one of friends, Vins of Tawambuhay, piqued me to create stationery items. we were supposed to be a tandem, with her coming up with the words for cards/notebooks, but haven't yet brainstormed on our project. one thing stuck to my mind though, her mentioning of La Vie En Rose. the phrase i found out has many possibilities, and here are some. 

i've yet to post the finished bookmarks here and on etsy, but i'd just like to share with you this WIP. thanks, Vins, for the inspiration!

new artwork

kiss me and be mine

i love long weekends as it gives me more time to draw/paint. and here is one of my finished works. i got the inspriation of a winged mermaid from manta rays and sea slugs. plain old mermaids tend to be boring, even if you get to kiss one. this artwork is all done in pencils and watercolor.
