Next round of watercolours inspired by the exercise book “Watercolour for Relaxation“, by Angelica Torres.

I realised the trois following works:
– Refreshing Watermelon
– Moon phases
– Colorful Seaweed

Do you like them?

If you survived the holiday season, may 2023 be sweet and less tumultuous than 2022, like these mountains.

During the holidays, I borrowed the book “Watercolor for Relaxation“, which is a watercolour exercise book by Angelica Torres. I had fun recreating a pink version of her “Serene Rainy Mountains” from Mianshan, Shanxi province.

Very relaxing indeed to pick up my brushes and immerse myself in the fluid colors that I love so much during my holidays.

May your year 2023 be sweet, but also filled with joy and creation!

Lots of love,

Malika Smith

Because there is always a way to bounce back at some point…

In the meantime, here’s a look at some of my paintings:

I still remember the times when, as a child, he used to take me to the garden.

With all the weight of my 3 years old, a little clumsy, I enjoyed “helping him”, while he progressed with a confident gesture.

I have always had green fingers since.

I am going to miss you.

Rest in peace. Love,

M.S

… in order to create globes!

Happy New Year to all!

I hope you had a beautiful New Year’s Eve. 

Christmas now seems a little far away… 

Here are some watercolours and more, created at the end of the year. I share with you a few of them:

1. Lady with doggies

A3 watercolour painted for one of my grandmothers, fan of Louis XV’s period, Nicolas Le Floch etc.
As you know, my grandpa passed away in 2013. Cypris, the older dog died last November, so I thought it would be nice to have a painting bringing them all together.

2. My grandparents

Because they made me understand a long time ago that they would like me to draw their portrait.

3. My in-laws

Because they are always teasing each other nicely, to know who is more respectable of the two.

3. The daughter of a couple of friends
I was so overwhelmed last year that I didn’t send anything for the birth of the little one (bouh, shame on me!).
This is made from a template found on Pinterest that I adapted to her first name.
My only merit will have been to cut the details of the frame to the millimeter with my little hands.

May 2018 be creative for you!

Kisses
