Ohn Mar Win

Hello I'm Ohn Mar a UK based artist, illustrator author with a long and varied 20 year career. 

I am a great advocate of sketchbooks having filled over 30+, which each serving as a record of my creative journey as a self-taught watercolourist for the last 7 years. They have helped capture my explorations in texture, line and tone as I extend my knowledge with this medium.  I also share process videos and sketchbook tours on my YouTube channel - please subscribe! 

Filling my sketchbooks remains a constant in my life,  and furthermore inspiring many folks to pick up a paintbrush. Oftentimes these sketch explorations provide the basis for classes here on Skillshare.

These days I'm is primarily known for my textural foodie images, which have now appeared on food branding  and packaging projects for clients from the UK, US, Europe, and Australia, including Marks & Spencer, Tesco, World Market and many more I was honoured to have my foodie art used by UNICEF to raise awareness of childhood malnutrition in Myanmar. 

Often my sketchbook work is applied to giftware or home decor. Other licensed products include greetings cards, fabric, calendars and party paper tableware. 

Please follow my progress on Instagram. And  and if you post any projects from my classes, use #ohnmarskillshare and I'll try to comment.

I also have one of the largest foodie illustration boards on Pinterest full of inspiration.

I hope my Skillshare classes will make you think about creativity in a fun context. That with every mark of every sketch will help along your creative journey and you will gain confidence. Some days there will be minor detours but ultimately we are all taking steps in the right direction if we choose to paint or create with joy. Here are a few things student have said about my classes:
