Shesvii Art & Watercolours

Unique art and handmade plastic free watercolours.

 
"We all start painting our life journey on a blank canvas."

I'm Sofía, a Spanish artist that finds inspiration in every corner of this journey that is life.

It could be said that my works consist of a harmonic combination of illustration and loose painting when it comes to technique, regarding subject and influences, those may vary.
Exploring the beauty of the female body with a touch of fantasy and surrealism is my preferred subject choice.

I'm also a paint maker. Visit the shop to know more about my high quality handmade watercolours!

Where are you based?

Why do you use clove oil on your paints?

Clove oil is a natural preserver and fungicide that keeps mold away and helps the paint stay wet and healthy.
Plus it smells good!
