Heartland TV Show-Ruby and Emmanuella Spencer Twins Illustrated Portrait

Spencer Twins Watercolour Portrait

I’m so excited to finally revealing this big project that I made as a collaboration with a proud Alberta Mama.

I was absolutely elated when I was asked if I could make this portrait. I immediately said yes to the project and, in being honest, it was a very challenging one for me. Normally my custom family portraits are a smaller size than this one. This was the first time I made a watercolour portrait this big (18 x 24 inches) and I loved it!

The adorable twins on this big custom illustration play Lyndy Borden on the CanadianTV Show Heartland which airs on CBC TV. Heartland is a multi-generational saga about a family getting through the highs and lows of life on a horse ranch. The series is based on the Heartland book series by Lauren Brooke and follows Amy Fleming and her older sister Louise "Lou" Fleming on their Albertan-based family ranch.

Here I’m sharing a bit of the process:

• First, I made a sketch based on the original picture.

• Secondly, I traced it on a big watercolour paper and started to paint

I’m so happy of how it turned out!

Thank you so much to Ruby and Emmanuella Spencer Mom @Spencer_twins I really enjoyed making this portrait for your kids!

And Thank you to Coventry Homes for letting me take these photos at their Show Home with a beautiful home decor here in Edmonton, Alberta. Special Thanks to Sales Associate Jared Keen @jkeehn.sales
