Hi, I’m Natasha,
also known as TheMightierPencil. I create expressive watercolor portraits and illustrations, capturing emotion and storytelling in my sketchbooks.
My love for art started at 10, but I truly embraced sketchbooks and watercolor in recent years, rediscovering the joy of creating for fun and exploration. With 30+ years of artistic experience and three years focused on watercolor, my work has been featured at the University of South Florida and 50 Arrow Gallery in Massachusetts. I also share my passion through live demos and tutorials online.
I believe art should be fun—mistakes are part of growth! My goal is to help others embrace creativity, push past doubts, and enjoy the process.
Beyond art, I love photography, museums, books, and playing video games with my little minion—who often appears in my work! Let’s create something amazing together. 🎨✨
My philosophy about art is that it’s supposed to be fun. Worrying about making mistakes only impedes one’s artistic growth because mistakes are inevitable. It’s how we learn from those mistakes and move forward and learn to find joy in “the ugly phase” of a painting where we remember why we started making art in the first place.
