So pleased to be able to feature the work of Abi McGinnis for the first time today, as a Painterly Prose artist!  She has such a pretty, elegant style that we knew would work perfectly with our watercolor artwork. Enjoy!

Painterly Prose #37 – with Dionne Christiansen

For our Painterly Prose post today, we have an example from Dionne Christiansen (@nibandpixel). This bold, flowing style works great for a watercolor fill effect, and just a simple wash to finish it off. It would be a great choice for one of our watercolor wedding invitations!

Painterly Prose #30 – with Kelle McCarter

It’s always a pleasure to feature the work of @designsgirl, one of our favorite calligraphers! Her beautiful style has adorned so many of our pieces. An airy watercolor landscape seemed like a good fit for this flowing, open style.

Painterly Prose #27 – with Michele Hatty Fritz

The talented Michele of Meant to Be Calligraphy   (@meanttobedc) has sent us a series of quotes she lettered for Danielle of Magnolia Bluebird, for her wedding. They are all gorgeous, and “love” themed. This short, simple ee cummings line seemed perfect for one of our watercolor woodland landscapes.

Painterly Prose #25 – with Mallory Hopkins

We’ve featured @mhpknsbyhand a couple of times before and her gorgeous script never fails to amaze us. This morning we have a short and sweet Bible verse to feature, with some watercolor botanicals. Such beautiful, flowing lettering!

Painterly Prose – #24 – with Jennifer Mauricio

Another lovely, fun example from Jennifer Mauricio! Such a sweet quote by Audrey Hepburn, perfect for bright watercolor florals and patterns. We’ve had such dreary weather here, and these colors sure help to brighten things up.

We have a new artist to feature today for Painterly Prose,  the talented Moya Minns of MMInk!  Our lively and cheerful watercolor fruits just seemed perfect for Mahatma Gandhi’s reminder to spread love and life wherever you go.
