Watercolour love birds, by Sarah Stokes (@sarah_stokes)

This self-taught artist turns her passion for art and nature into unique watercolor compositions. Inspired by the environment in which she lives, the Worcestershire countryside (UK), she uses modern methods of watercolor painting to illustrate moments of wildlife, such as this emotional action on a branch.

You can learn with Sarah in her course Artistic Watercolor Techniques for Illustrating Birds.

Acuarelas de inspiración, by Daniel "Pito" Campos (@danieldibujador)

Up to 12 watercolors are those shared with the community by the illustrator and plastic artist Daniel "Pito" Campos. As his creations reflect, reality can be transformed into watercolor stains, allowing each one to take its shape to reflect a real landscape. A selection of pieces that unite his passion for the city and painting.

In his course Urban Landscapes in Watercolor, he will explain how to paint drop by drop with this technique.

Watercolour mouse...tonal exercise, by Sarah Stokes (@sarah_stokes)

The same artist from the love story between birds shows another of her illustrations. This time, with a mouse as the protagonist. With this watercolor she wants to reflect the importance of tonal value, that is, how light or dark a piece can be.

In her course, Artistic Watercolor Techniques for Illustrating Birds, she teaches you more about tonal values and explains how to create a specific tool to work on this concept.

Watercolour portrait of 2 Staffordshire bull terriers, by Sarah Stokes (@sarah_stokes)

We have already seen that Sarah Stokes not only illustrates birds but also dares with other animals. We present to you Belle, a watercolor portrait whose result is full of meaning and expressiveness. Entering the project, you will meet the other protagonist of this same work, Fynn. And what did you like the most: birds or dogs?

Watercolour mouse, by Sarah Stokes (@sarah_stokes)

The same mouse from Sarah's previous exercise is now displayed in full color. And it has once again become one of your favorites of the month. Entering the project, you will be able to contemplate the details.

By the way, the artist is also an expert in using charcoal to create captivating compositions, as you can see in her course, Artistic Charcoal Portraiture: Creating Atmosphere.

La entrega, by Alejandro Soriano (@alejandrosoriano)

4.36 am, a work table and a project to be delivered. The designer Alejandro Soriano turns this scene into a 3D image in which all the elements of reality appear. To do this, he uses SketchUp, a design program famous for its ease of learning and good results for modeling in no time.

If you dare, you can learn with him from scratch in his Domestika course, Introduction to SketchUp.

Cokowo, traditional and funny coco food by Tatabi Studio (@tatabi)

Elena Sancho, creative director of Tatabi Studio, has created the sustainable packaging for this brand of coconut products. The wooden box can be reused, the bottles are made of recycled glass and the label die is rectangular to avoid material waste.

The project, which will take you to the exotic landscapes of the Philippines, reflects the method she teaches in her Packaging Design: Experience of Unboxing Products Sent by Post.

Course project, by Belén Tralará (@neftis)

Top-down is a crochet technique that creates seamless garments. Here you can see the end result of what Belén has learned in the course Top-Down: One-Piece Crocheted Garments.

Belén says that one of the keys to her process has been to try on the garment to see if she liked it. She has also personalized it with fringes and now, she is convinced that it will be a garment for life. Congratulations!

Pastel y lápiz, by Elena Pancorbo (@elena_pancorbo)

The illustrator shares the result of the method she teaches in her course Illustration with Pastel and Coloured Pencils. Focusing on the female portrait, her abilities to highlight beauty in her sensitivity and emotion have led her to work for publishers such as Planeta, Penguin Random House or Anaya.

In this work, she defines the tones with the pastel and works the lights and shadows. With her pencil, she outlines the parts of her face and gives depth. Do you dare to follow in her footsteps?

Mirada del paisaje natural, by Daniel "Pito" Campos (@danieldibujador)

To paint you also have to know how to look and this exercise is a good example of this. This is another small sample of the watercolors that Daniel "Pito" Campos has shared with the community.

Only with brushes and colored spots, the author explores all the possibilities of this technique. Something that you can also do in his course Natural Landscapes in Watercolor.

Congratulations to everyone! Don't forget to share your projects with the community here.
