Hello there, I'm a beginner artist with an interest in traditional mediums. Mostly gouache, watercolour and ink.

Drawing and painting for the fun of it 🖌️🎨

Attempting to get better at painting portraits. After a few fails I decided to try and start with simple and learn the planes of the face. I've got a lone way to go!

Simple form study in #watercolour

I can definitely see my brushwork and technique improving!

My on the go #watercolour supplies. I love using travel brushes, very satisfying.

Pretty minimal stuff, 4 round travel brushes, mechanical pencil, knead able eraser, water container and some Winsor and Newton tubes. Cad red, Cobalt blue, yellow ochre and Ivory black.

First time attempting a landscape, tried to go for a looser look with #watercolour.

This is my little #watercolour palette. Cheapest Kmart one I could buy, removed the trash half pans in there and stuffed these Winsor and Newton tubes instead. Works a treat!

Some baked goods practice. Honestly breads and cakes are underated as practice! Simple forms but looks so good when you get it right! The top cake in watercolour I'm not so happy with but the gouache croissant I love!

Little bit of #watercolour #art today

Using a limited palette to experiment a little and get better at mixing colours.

Drew up some goblins from imagination and decided to ink them as a little practice. I'm much more comfortable with a brush at this point I think but it was good to push myself.

Sketched these ages ago. Finally came back and gave them a touch of colour with #gouache. Pretty happy with a few of them even if it looks mostly like watercolour.

Played around with some cheap markers, was fun and fell in love with this quick sketch. I think I'll be using them in the future for simple figure studies to get better with shape and value!

Some Easter paintings, a pinecone, tree stump with fungus on it and a bucket. Mix of #gouache and #watercolour.

Trying to paint more after a stressful couple of weeks!
Some figure studies, still working on colour and value mixing.

Been a while since I've had time to paint 😞 but managed to get 15 mins today. Did a small "thumbnail" of some Donuts I want to paint soon. Will have to play around with a few more to get the values in the right ranges then I might do the same thing but with colour too!

Finished a quick small value study of a pair still life. I think my darks are too dark and I need to try being a bit more subtle. But I think my brushwork and water control is improving :)

Some figure drawing practice today in charcoal. I love taking a pose and then pushing it to add life! I feel like I nailed down the proportions a lot more the second time too

Some torso/breast studies. I find focussing on a smaller part makes the study relaxing and fun because you can do more! Soon I'll go back and paint over them in gouache, hence doing them in my new etchr book.

More monochrome gouache practice, this time a quick sketch of a hand. I need to work on my brushwork and water control!

Some super quick ink sketches. Added some watercolour to the top one but I don't know if that ruined it!

Fun quick study with 2 values only. Interesting that even with simple things like this you can communicate a lot about a pose and lighting.

Some eyes from imagination. I really suck at painting right now haha, clearly not ready for colour. Going to go with a monotone palette for a while to up my value skills

Page of penis study sketches. I went back and decided to play with some watercolour on them too. A lotta fun!
