2016? Wow! It seems like just yesterday that I started painting my first @oorwulliebuckettrail sculpture in @apexhotels #dundee! . . Wanna join this year’s oor @owbigbuckettrail artists team? There’s still time to get involved! Head over to our website for all the info and submission templates. I can’t wait to see everyone’s designs. . . It’s gonna be a whopper of a summer! I loved bringing my design to life. So so proud to see him on display in Dundee all summer with lots of smiling visitors & raising lots for @thearchiefoundation too! He now lives with D.C. Thomson 🖤 . . So exciting that Oor Boys are back isn’t it... and it’s gonna be even bigger than before as they take over 5 cities raising money for THREE children’s hospital charities, @thearchiefoundation, @echcharity AND @gch_charity! 😍 . . #getinvolved . . #whimsicalllush #oorwulliebuckettrail #owbbt #oorwullie #publicart #sculpturetrail #livepainting #timelapse #illustration #drawing #aberdeen #inverness #glasgow #edinburgh #childrenshospital #archiefoundation #glasgowchildrenshospitalcharity #edinburghchildrenshospitalcharity #fundraising #wildinart

More pieces all cut out for @funadaydundee project! Embracing the warm and spicy colours! 💖❤️🧡💛 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #funadaydundee2019 #funaday #dundee #justforfun #doodles #doodling #drawing #watercolour #papercut

Been enjoyed pootling and doodling away on my @funadaydundee project! Today was time for some details and shading... lots and lots of little details (my fav! 😊). . . Thought you’d like to see a wee bit of the process from the studio. I know I love watching other people draw and paint. #timelapse #wip . . Still sticking to the theme of colour play, this block of houses were coloured using only warm colours. I’m not always a warm colour kinda gal so this was lovely to play around with. Feels almost Moroccan. . . #whimsicallush #illustration #funadaydundee2019 #funaday #dundee #doodle #doodling #drawing #colour #colourpop

That time I drew a marvellous machine for @portersgin 🖤 Can’t believe they have three now. That’s a lot of amazing botanical twisting going on right there! 💚🌿 . . #Repost @portersgin ・・・ Our rotary evaporators are now three strong 💪🏼 This machine allows us to “cook” botanicals at a much lower temperature than normal, allowing them to retain their lighter and fresher qualities. Come see them in action at our micro distillery tours in Aberdeen #portersgin #aberdeen #rotaryvap Illustration @whimsicallush . . #whimsicallush #illustration #drawing #blackandwhite #gin #dundee #aberdeen #finelinerart #toolsofthetrade #scientificillustration

About time I posted up my random doodles so far for @funadaydundee 💚 It started off with some colourful watercoloury cacti, that became ‘Cactus Towers’ 🌵Then today, day 5 my teal/ #marrsgreen and #fushiapink #tower appeared. It has hints of #pagoda about it... although I’ve no idea why! 😆 . . I’m letting myself play with houses, towers & huts& colour & doodles & nonsense this year for #funadaydundee2019 ... As you may have guessed I’ve no freaking clue how this is gonna end, but I’m already enjoying the journey! Feels good to draw just cos and who knows what the next 5 days will bring... 🤪 . . Oh, I meant to ask. Any of you guys got any top recommendations for knives? My craft knives kill my fingers and I’m sure there must be better ones out there. Any recommendations? 🔪 . . #whimsicallush #watercolour #fineliner #houses #cactus #cacti #justforfun #doodles #dundee #illustration #drawing #doodling #funaday

I loved creating this little inky cottage for @saraduthie__ for her mum’s Christmas, complete with little personal details in the windows. Delighted to say that it went down a treat! . . Scroll through to see a close up, the original pic, sketch and a wee video of me tiling if you like to see process stuffs (I know I always do 😊). . . #whimsicallush #illustration #cottage #commission #detail #pattern #drawing #dundee

Wishing you a wonderful Hogmanay and New Year too when it comes! Thanks so so much to everyone who has supported me this year. It’s been amazing. You are just the best and make me want to keep doing more! 💚🌿 . . I cannot believe 2019 is just around the corner though, is it just me or has 2018 flown in?There is some pretty fun stuff coming up, including @funadaydundee AND @owbigbuckettrail 😍 Are you gonna come play too? Go on... it’ll be fun! 💚🌿 . . A wee #repost from my newest lil buddy too (and the main reason I’ve been a little quieter than usual! ☺️) . . #Repost @lupinlurcher 🐺💚 ・・・ Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you a fantastic Hogmanay! What are you up to tonight? Parties? Bar? Or staying cosy at home? I’m gonna be cosied up in my favourite corner of the couch with some tasty treats! 💚🐺🌿 . . 📷 @whimsicallush - when we were chillin’ in Dunkeld on Christmas Day! I was such a good pup that day, I didn’t even touch a single present even though they were very tempting! 😇 . . #LupinLurcher #Dundee #Hogmanay #hogmanay2018 #lurchersofinstagram #brindlelurcher #lurcherlife #lurchersofig #cutepuppy #lurcherpuppy #dog #puppy #lurcher #whimsicallush

That’s us all set up for tomorrow’s Open Studio afternoon in Studio 6! Join @creature_emporium, @islayspalding and I for our last event of the year! 12-4pm. . . There will be mulled wine and treats galore! I know we’re gonna have a laugh... come join us. . . Studio 6, 1st Floor, Meadow Mill, West Henderson Wynd, Dundee.

What a beautiful afternoon for a wander... I love the low winter sun! Did you read the article by @creative_dundee about burnout? It’s really relevant for creatives at this time of year and well worth the read. . . One of my top tips to avoid the dreaded burnout is to get outside for a walk, even if it is just for 15 minutes. Some fresh air and change of scene always leaves me feeling better (even if it’s just a little bit). . . Dawg update too for those asking about her. (She happens to be a brilliant excuse for a walk! 💚🐺) Lupin went for her first walk with her lead and harness on... and encountered her first snow/ mud/ ice/ puddles too! (She wasn’t so sure of the big puddles at first check out the last pic 😆). . . #whimsicallush #LupinLurcher #Lurcher #LurcherPuppy #puppy #dog #12weeks #wintersun #sunset #perthshire #reflection #silhouette #trees
