My Paintings — Real Watercolours by Dee - Artsydee - Drawing, Painting, Craft & Creativity

Come and have a nosy at my actual paintings. Every single one of these was painted by my own hand and photographed at my kitchen table — a little wonky, a little wobbly, and all the more mine for it. This is the work behind the templates, tutorials and kits I make for you.

I use a whole toolkit to make my resources — from Procreate, Photoshop, Canva and Clip Studio Paint to the newest digital tools, alongside my own hand-painted work — but it’s all led by my own hand and eye, shaped by my style and checked by me.

Straight from the easel

These are grabbed straight from my painting videos — real hands, real paint, real happy accidents. You can watch me paint the whole thing over on my YouTube channel.

And on the iPad

Not everything happens on paper. I also draw and paint digitally in Procreate on my iPad — same hand, same eye, just a different set of brushes. Here are a few finished pieces, each sitting next to the very screen I made it on.

And it’s not just me — come and see what my readers have made with these same templates: the Reader Gallery.

If you’d like to paint with me, my little watercolour school opens in September — you can join the waitlist for the Wonky Watercolour School here. I’d love to make something gloriously wonky with you. — Dee x
