Kayleigh Tait-Brown

Diploma
2021

I'm Kayleigh Tait-Brown, a Canadian artist located in Southern Ontario. l have been studying art and related subjects in college since September 2017. I mostly work on character illustrations as well as surface design pieces inspired by historic designs. My main medium is watercolour but I've also experimented with oils, acrylics and even egg tempera and glair paints. I make some of my own watercolours from pigments I have made myself and use those in my watercolour pieces.
