Gemma Macniven

Hello everyone!!

I am a professional fantasy watercolour artist based in Western Australia.

Commissions: OPEN

[Gemma Macniven @MacnivenGemma]

I have successfully landed right in the middle of the "ugly phase" with this passion piece.

I've always been a fan of both Beauty and the Beast, and Paranormal Romance novels. This is just the beginning!

Throwback to 2020!

It's when you go back and look at your own work from years ago that you see how much you have improved! I wouldn't be where I am today without the groundwork, I learnt from doing pieces like this.

My art and me. I'm working on multiple book covers at the moment, but I'm always happy to hear from new clients if you have something you would like done.

Annie Stegg is an incredible artist, and such an inspiration to me with her craft. I hope one day my work will hold such an impact!

I absolutely love using Winsor & Newton Water Mixable Oil Paints, you should all check them out if you are interested in trying oil painting! https://t.co/YJUtOqmDNt

Our selection of 120 page lined journals are really coming together. This is only 6 of the 9 designs we will be releasing this year, but they are completely hand made and bound with eco friendly, recycled, and recyclable materials right down to the glue!

What is your favorite kind of #art?

[Gemma Macniven @MacnivenGemma]

@instagram why do I keep getting this message popping up every time I try to interact with people or follow people on my refreshed and revived account? I can't find anything about it on the Help Centre and it says I have never reported anything. #help

[Gemma Macniven @MacnivenGemma]

Here is a sneak peek of the piece of got on the board at the moment. Changes are coming, because there is a real chill in the air with this ice nymph! (cropped to hide the nipples :D )

[Gemma Macniven @MacnivenGemma]

I've got to say I'm not sure this platform is for me, but I am going to keep going for a few months. If by the end of '22 I'm not getting much in the way of interactions I think I will stick with instagram, facebook, and our website. Do you search twitter for art?

[Gemma Macniven @MacnivenGemma]

My first foray into making my own #watercolor paints was incredible! My first #halfpan of #redochre with many more to come!

[Gemma Macniven @MacnivenGemma]

Exciting things ahead! I have just bought all of the items needed to create my own paints!!! I can't wait to share with you my creations, and maybe I'll even release my own palette later :D #Excited

[Gemma Macniven @MacnivenGemma]

Almost forgot to mention, I'm now open for a limited number of commissions! Hit me up if you would like a fantasy watercolor painting!!

[Gemma Macniven @MacnivenGemma]

Hello everyone! I'm back and ready to show you an update of my art every two days! So watch out world :D Here is a piece I finished recently called "Day's End" and you can grab it here if you love it as much as I do: https://t.co/b0ISh0mDlK

[D&W Framing @DarknWhimsical]

Did you attend, sell, or exhibit? Why not give some feedback to the City of Belmont to help them make it even better next year. https://t.co/z0KwT1l6H4

Got this back from the framers the other day. This one and the two pieces that are going to the gallery all framed and ready to be adopted 😁 #darkandwhimsical #forsale

The Little Mermaid finally finished, it is based on the Hans Christian Andersen tale but differs in the ending as she did finish off the Prince to re-gain her tail. #darkandwhimsical #carandacheluminance #archeswatercolorpaper #watercolorart #mermaid
