Apologies if this is rude or unwanted-

But are you Finnish by any chance? Your blog name always reminds me of Finnish when I see it.

sorry if I'm completely off on this assumption.

Love your art! I hope you have a great day.

Hi, that's okay, you're not rude at all! ✨ Yes, I'm Finnish, though I have lived in Tokyo for a few years now : )

hello, miss heikala, your art is wonderful and i wish to one day be as good with watercolours as you :D

my question (which might already have been answered before) is what kind of paper, watercolours and brushes do you use?

kind wishes from lithuania!!

Hi, thank you so much! 💕 You can find a list of most of my usual art supplies from my FAQ.

I use Saunders Waterford Cold Pressed watercolor paper and Kuretake's Gansai Tambi watercolors, for some pieces I use colored inks by Rohrer & Klingner. : ) For brushes my usual favorites are the synthetic brushes by Holbein which have the clear acrylic handle ✨

Hello,

In your process video of Blush, you used a white ink/paint pen with a brush head and I was wondering what kind of pen it was?

Thanks 💕

Hi 💕 It's Kuretake's ZIG Cartoonish Brush Pen White Ultra Fine, and it's actually currently available in my online shop!

Dawn 🌷 Continuing with the theme of tiny characters in huge surroundings. Really happy with the glowy effect. Lately I noticed that the watercolor paper texture my home scanner makes is very prominent compared to the Epson at my studio 😅

Blush 🎀

Lately I’ve been (once again) very much into sketching tiny characters in huge settings. I want to make a series of paintings with this theme so I’ve been taking pictures of tiny trinkets that I come across so that I could incorporate them into my paintings 💕✨

Hello! Is there any chance that there will be prints of Unknown Orbit available again? It’s such a lovely piece! 💖

Hi! Thank you so much 💕 Yes, Unknown Orbit will be restocked! 🥰 We're unable to give out a specific date for the restocking of the prints though, as we're waiting for the printing house to finish working on them.
