Celtic Geese with Summer Strawberries - arts and crafts style artwork by Lotti Brown
I thought I'd have a bit of colourful summer fun with this charming artwork with a pair of gorgeous geese reaching up to some tempting sweet summer strawberries, lots of pretty flowers and some swirling art nouveau or arts and crafts style Celtic knotwork...
The rich colours are warm and striking and give a cosy look suitable for traditional period houses, cosy cottages and relaxed family homes. I make my art digitally (with Adobe Illustrator) from pen and pencil drawings - here's how I made this piece...

You get used to putting down a bold mark, and it really allows your own personal, expressive drawing style to filter through. I choose to draw with fineliner pens (often just called ‘drawing pens’ or ‘artist pens’) but there are other pen types that might suit your personal drawing style better… So we’ll look briefly, together, at a few different options. And then take a look at the different techniques you might use for drawing in pen and how drawing with a pen differs from drawing with pencils…

My set of 4 dragon artworks - inspired by Celtic and Medieval style
Dragons are special to us. We love our dragons. I, especially, love dragons… Many years ago, in the early- to mid-2000s, I used to spend all my free time drawing dragons. I drew them on paper, on T-shirts, and even on two of my husband’s guitars! And I wanted to start a business where I got to draw dragons all day! Fast forward fifteen years or so, and I’m drawing dragons for a new collection of artworks for my art business – and getting a little over-excited delving deep into the myth, meaning and symbolism of dragons to understand our relationship with dragons better… Don’t you think it’s strange that even though we’ve never seen a dragon, we all know what a dragon looks like and how it behaves! Dragons are a part of our lives, our history, and our culture. Amazingly, dragons appear throughout history and across many different cultures – dragon meaning and symbolism can sometimes differ or even encompass multiple meanings. So let’s start exploring the wonderful and fearsome world of dragons…

I love living in the countryside. I think green and natural spaces are essential to mankind, and our need for them shouldn’t be down-played or side-lined…
People living close to green spaces, or having regular access to them, show increased happiness, and better mental and physical health – quite startlingly so in fact! And I think with the 2020-21 lockdowns, we've all become suddenly far more aware of our need for time in nature and that this should be a right for all, as it's a basic need for us as people... People are meant to live in nature. Did you know we can see significantly more shades of green than any other colour? This is because, evolutionarily, we needed to be able to identify leaves and plants, for our survival – so we are physically evolved to live in nature.
