This has been a long time coming & VERY hard to hit "publish" on... if you could check out patreon.com/meganfoldenauer that would be amazing! It has all sorts of artsy perks (discounts, early access to new art, behind-the-scenes, and original work, etc.)

THANK YOU & back to painting I go! Gulp!

Fuck off.

Two additions this morning - my vintage scalpel (doesn’t everyone have one?) and a favorite watercolor brush from @rosemarybrushes. All drawn with a @speedball ink brush from this month’s @getsketchbox.

Follow this passionflower bit from very rough sketch to highly refined & nearly “done.” It was lovely to spend some time in the garage with my dirty plants. ❤️🌱

Take a little close up stroll along the giant freaky plant drawing, why don’t’cha? Take your mind off things for a second. I found the perfect track to accompany it too.

Since REM’s IG liked my post over there and I know Michael is active over hereeeeee… I’m posting today’s “t-shirt of the day” - my latest #REM shirt (#20??), the fundraiser for RFE - it’s gorgeous, comfy, and a no brainer to support. @michaelstipe.bsky.social - ❤️

I'm live drawering again! I look all funky with this wide-angled lens, so that's fun too. Yay for September, my favorite month! youtube.com/live/SBk1Ep0... #liveart

I’m not the one you need to be rolling your eyes at, but you do you I guess.

Megan of the Foldenauer’s @mebf.bsky.social · Aug 22

Positive.

You know people can pay attention to more than one thing at the same time, right?

My heavy-lidded friends Melissa (blue eyes, #21) & Kenzie (green eyes, #22) are the newest to join the tiny watercolor eye family! First, my friend @chris.ciccone tipped me off to acrylic gouache (picture 4) (1/2) #artsky #watercolor #eyesky #sciart

Remind you of anything?? 😁😁 Mine: (each are 1x2”)

Megan of the Foldenauer’s @mebf.bsky.social · Jun 26

I make modern versions of these! Just finished my 20th (but in watercolor). Sans the lovely frames, though… I’m not made of money ;) #artsky

(2/2) I am a professional artist of 50 (read my bio) with a distinct POV. I’m not interested in changing a portrait in the ways you suggest nor do I see any merit in doing so. And finally, I didn’t ask for feedback. Be well.

Megan of the Foldenauer’s @mebf.bsky.social · Jun 23

(1/2) Ma’am, #1 criticism: “the analysis and judgment of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic work.” #2 there’s only one piece of art here, with two different light sources. #3…

Megan of the Foldenauer’s @mebf.bsky.social · Jun 22

I can’t decide which lighting is “better” for Cathy’s eye, eye #18 in my very tiny watercolor project, so, you’re getting both. The layering in this was insanely pale and delicate.
