First post of 2026 is this #acrylic #painting that I finished last year but forgot to share. I’m really starting to find my way with this medium I think.
The world may be going completely insane, but at least I have my art to distract me. I hope you’re all doing ok. ❤️

Thanks! Someone else mentioned that too! I just did what came naturally to me and since I’m used to working with watercolours I probably did use more watercolour techniques than I was aware of. I like the effect it gave though so I’m not complaining. ☺️

My second attempt with acrylic paints created this sweet #painting. There’s a big difference between working with charcoal/watercolor and working with acrylic paints but I think I’m starting to get the hang of it and I feel excited to keep going with the medium.

Thanks! I felt the same way. Started with the background not really having anything planned out and felt that autumn colours would look really nice with what I had.

I usually work with charcoal and watercolours but tried my hand at acrylics with these flowers and really loved lt! I’ll keep going with acrylics and see where it takes me. :)

I drew this snake in charcoal in my sketchbook to practice scales. I think I figured it out so the next one should be better. You learn something with every drawing!

I made another #portrait drawing in #charcoal based on a post over on Reddit’s drawme subreddit. If anyone knows this guy tell him to check his reddit because he hasn’t seen it (I was late to the post) and it would be fun if he did!

Jag (som inte vill ha några ägg alls i metas korg) tycker så klart att du har fattat helt rätt beslut! 😌
Kan du berätta lite mer om konceptet för Legends? Hur kome du på det och vad var det som gjorde att du kände att du ville ta det vidare? 🙂

Thanks so much! The idea popped into my head when I was drawing snails just for practice. I wouldn’t have been able to move on to something else so I had to let the idea out of my head by attaching it to paper. I’m glad you like it! :D

I just finished this charcoal drawing. I call it ”Slow Jams” for pretty obvious reasons. Any thoughts on it?

That sounds much like the same reasons I had. I deleted my account because I just couldn’t be associated with any meta platform any longer. It’s disgusting how the straight up oligarchs are abusing the power that comes with that type of wealth to dismantle democracy in the west.

This is the third one in a #watercolor series I call ”The Chew Crew”. It’s watercolor and #ink on 300g/m2 #Arches paper. Size is 20x20cm. This piece has been sold but I still love it so much.
What do you think?
