Anyone else been finding it hella tricky to focus recently? I thought I was until I found a project that’s kept me fully engrossed for the last few days! I’ve been meaning to make some models of my wee houses for ages, and now was a great time to practice my modelling skills. Hope you like my wee house as much as I did creating it! Might go order more clay... 😉

Would you like to collaborate with me? Let’s have some FREE fun! I’ve drawn a wee house and left lots of space for your imagination! Will you colour it in? Leave it black and white? What will you add? More houses? Trees and Bushes? Tree houses? Lochs or mountains? Flowers and animals? People or creatures or cheeky monsters? Rainbows, clouds and unicorns? Hot air balloons or aeroplanes or the most fantastic flying machine that we ever did see! . . The A4 images are available to download from my website (shop page) - for FREE - because we’re all a bit worried about the pennies right now huh and having a bit of fun doesn’t always have to cost anything. . . Save the images and print them out to add to them or alter them digitally. Animate, replicate, draw it in your style... Whatever you prefer! . . I’d love to see your amazing creations and see what you add - so if you do share your finished pieces on social media remember to give me a shout @whimsicallush with the tag #WhimsicallushCollaboration (or send me them directly). . . I hope you enjoy my wee challenge. Stay safe x . . #whimsicallush #illustration #freeart #collaboration #artchallenge #drawthisinyourstyle #dtiys #portfolioclub #stayathome #dundee #corona #covid_19 #isolation #selfisolation #quarantine #quarantineartclub #isolationcreation #isolationart #free #freefun

Let’s make an adorable little paper house together! ☺️ Been learning a few more film editing skills this afternoon - as well as playing with paper, scissors & glue (always fun). . . If you’d like a paper kit to keep your hands and mind busy too there are some in my Etsy shop (link in bio). . . I love them in black and white but you can also colour them in too. A 3d colouring kit. Cool huh! 💚🌿 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #paperhousekit #mazot #castle #paperkit #craftkit #stayhome #selfisolation #quarantine #quarantineandchill #thingstodoathome #thingstodowiththekids #thingstomake #keepmakingart #dundee #scotland #artistsoninstagram #etsy #etsyseller #etsysellersofinstagram #learnnewskills #teachyourself #homeschooling #homeschoolingideas

A bit more colour going onto the table top the other day... now to start layering up. . . #whimsicallush #illustration #wip #basecoat #timelapse #nighttime #woodland #adventure #imagination #dundee #artistoninstagram #illustrationartists #portfolioclub

Time for some colour! 💚💚💚 . . #whimsicallush #hobbithousetable #illustration #painting #timelapse #trees #dundee #scotland #artistoninstagram

Sketchy sketch sketchin’ and layin’ down those lines... Next stage lots more paint! Need to keep busy right now... . . #whimsicallush #illustration #sketching #illustratorsoninstagram #studiolife #timelapse #Dundee

Has anyone else spotted that #DiscoveryWalkDundee is on the signs around Dundee city centre? @lupinlurcher and I were pretty stoked to see it being given a wee shoutout when we were out for a wander in the sunshine yesterday. . . If you’ve not discovered the walk for yourself yet, it’s at the top corner of #SlessorGardens nearest @vadundee. I’m still really proud to have been asked to design the 15 bronze plaques that shout about and celebrate some really kick ass Dundee folk who have made contributions that went on to change the world. . . Read all about it on my blog at whimsicallush.co.uk 💚🌿 . . #whimsicallush #dundee #publicart #dundeehistory #history #streetart #dundeestreetart #dundeepublicart #bronzeplaques #dogsofinstagram #doggo #lurcher #outandabout

@noladundee - opening night - what a treat! What a gorgeous and inventive new addition to our wee city! Fabulous work once again @aj_mc_enemy @phildonaldsonn and co. 😍💚🌿 . . #noladundee #cocktailbar #latenightcocktails #dundee #cocktails

I had some studio ‘help’ today whilst I started on a new commission and packed up some Etsy orders! 😆 Don’t think she’s very sure of the paint roller! 😂 Gotta love the wee scruffbag though @lupinlurcher 🥰 . . #whimsicallush #lupinlurcher #studiodog #etsy #etsyseller #lurcher #Dundee #scruffydog #cutedogs #artistdog

AJ took this brilliant photo of the #RoxMural! I just had to share it with you. Scroll to see the other side... I managed to do that funcy panoramic split thang for you. Get me of a Sunday morning eh! . . I’ve also written a blog post all about the creation of the mural if you’d like a nosey over on the old website - whimsicallush.co.uk 💚🌿 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #RoxburgheHouse #Dundee #palliativecare #nhstayside @nhstayside #owbbt #oorwullie #weemaggie #penguin #maggiespenguins #deer #millsobservatory #balgaypark #woodendiorama #dioramamural #mural #streetart #dundeestreetart #scottishstreetart

This wooden house didn’t quite make it to the big #RoxMural as it was just a bit too little in the end. But rather than it sit blank and unloved I decided to paint it during our open studios yesterday. It’s a really nice reminder of the mural in the studio. Now where to put it.... 😊💚🌿 . . The studio is open again today 11-4 at Meadow Mill, just down from @verdantdundee 😁 Joining me with doors flung open on the first floor are: @1874works, @once_upon_a_wardrobe (with a mega fabric clear out), Nicely Eclectic (vintage clothing), Ovenstone Framing and Thistle Dae are open too! . . #whimsicallush #woodencutout #livepainting #illustration #dundee #timelapseart #littlehouse

#Signify have taken the mural to another level at night with the lighting haven’t they - and this is just one of the colour settings, we can play with thousands!!! Had to go out and see it again with AJ 🥰Here’s a wee peek. #RoxMural . . #whimsicallush #roxburghehouse #Dundee @nhstayside #nhstayside #palliativecare #mural #diorama #woodencutout #streetart #dundeestreetart #illustration #oorwullie #owbbt #maggiespenguins #weemaggie #woodland #naturelover #smiles

Today’s the day!! We unveiled my giant wooden mural that was created for Roxburghe House with inspiration taken from patients, staff and beautiful surroundings, including Balgay Park, Dundee. . . Massive thanks to Northwood Charitable Trust for supporting this project and to everyone at Roxburghe House @nhstayside Tayside for being just amazing to work with and be around (with particular shout to Fiona Barnett who’s passing comment and enthusiasm turned into a mega project and Alison Sellers for co-ordinating all the Rox House peeps and for so much coffee! . . To Iain Byrne and his team from #Signify for the incredible lighting - you gotta see this at night (I’ll share it soon), The Spray Factory Ltd for lacquering and painting the wall, @thealteredstatelasercutting for cutting out all the flowers. @kris_miller_ (c/o DC Thomson) for piccies today. . . My wee studio team who helped me out with this giant beastie need a mega thanks too as I couldn’t have done this without you guys, @louisecforbes , @creature_emporium , Ryan Bald (RDB Joinery), James Hall Carpentry & Joinery @jamesy1976 and Emma White. . . The old cliche coming up, but it’s true... #teamworkmakesthedreamwork 💚🌿 . .

Keeping cosy with Harold and Pip (and Emma) at @birdandbeardundee sipping our fav Beary Marys! Best #BloodyMary I’ve ever had. 😍🍅 🥓 🥒 🌶 One of my favourite places in Dundee AND I got to create all the artwork for them too. Still one of my favourite commissions! #HappyPlace 💚🌿 🐦 🐻 . . #whimsicallush #commission #birdandbear #illustration #birdandbeardundee #dundee #cocktails #brunch #cocktailbar #scotland

Was sketchin’ puffins yesterday... because why not! Think I was inspired by @freya__cumming’s cute lil puffling drawing 🥰 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #sketching #doodling #puffin #dundee #yearofcoastsandwaters2020 #seabird #timelapse

My wee sheds are actually bathing boxes! Have you ever heard of bathing boxes before? I hadn’t. I was totally taken by these strange but adorable little sheds on wheels on the beach on the old glass plates in the Archive Collections at @dundeeuni that I couldn’t resist making my own versions for our exhibition. The wheels though, they were are bit of a challenge! 😅 . . Hop over to my website to see the original glass plates, some of the history behind the bathing boxes and the story behind this piece! . . 🌿 www.whimsicallush.co.uk 🌿 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #dundeeuni #exhibition #yearofcoastsandwaters2020 #dundee #bathingboxes #hut #beachlife #sunnydundee #retro #victorian #illustratorsofinstagram #artistofinstagram #3ddrawing

Been making some wee paper ‘sheds’ for the latest exhibition with @dundeeuni archives ’River Deep, Mountain High’, which opened last night in the Lamb Gallery in the Tower Building. I’ll tell you their story tomorrow. . . The sheds didn’t stay like this for long - they had a wee challenge in store for me after this stage! Check out all the details and textures of their inked wooden boards in the other pics. . . #whimsicallush #dundeeuni #dundee #archives #riverdeepmountainhigh #papershed #handdrawen #shed #hut #exhibition

With one main character (and a few other wee extras) still to be unveiled at our exhibition in April - here’s my @funadaydundee piece. Thought you’d like to see it with all the animals. Did you spot who was missing from my last #FADD2020 post btw? She was busy galavanting up in the mountains. I’ll make sure she stays for the exhibition! 😅 😂 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #funaday #funadaydundee #dundee #mountains #forest #woodland #chamonix #chalet #alpine #animals #frenchalps #leshouches
