Digital &Traditional Art by Cora Potvin

Hi, I'm Cora!

Meet the Artist.

My name is Cora! I grew up in rural southwest Ontario, Canada, and became interested in pursuing art as a career back in high school when my twin sister and I started a joint Instagram art account. We gained over 40k followers in just over a year and that propelled both of us into pursuing art as a career.

I graduated from Sheridan College in 2023 with a bachelor's degree in animation. I have worked professionally as a background painter at PIP Animation on 3 seasons of Cyberchase and another to-be-announced project.

I love what I do and am so thankful to get the opportunity to create art regularly! I enjoy getting outside to do plein-air paintings and tackling big landscape paintings in Photoshop!

Types of Art

Learn more about each type of art I create below, where you can see my portfolio and reach out to me if you're interested in working together!

Background Painting

My backgrounds are all painted in Photoshop and tend to be inspired by the places I've been or places I'd love to go to one day. I've also had over 3 years of professional studio experience as a background painter, which has helped refine my work!

Character Art

My character work has been shaped by my years of training in life drawing. I'd say my animation background greatly influences my style, and I love working in Procreate for most of my character art. I've also made a number of character pieces using paper cutouts!

Traditional Art

The majority of my traditional art is done en plein air. I love traveling with my supplies and painting different landscapes! I mainly use gouache on wood board for my smaller pieces and acrylic on canvas for my larger paintings.

Commissions

I love bringing special moments and people to life in a whole new way through my artistic style! Some examples of commissions I've done and can do are: saints for confirmation, family portraits, wedding portraits, pets, engagement portraits, headshots, etc.
