This piece is my Wicked–inspired botanical artwork, painted using my handmade watercolours and built up in slow, layered washes.

Let me know in the comments — are you Team Elphaba, Team Glinda, or both? And would you like to see prints?

Portrait of little Dorian, a viewer request from one of my streams. The owner is curious about the #pigment PBk19 and so it's what I used to paint him. With additional goodie of PO49 for the bell.

Dorian is so adorable, it was lots of fun to paint him.

Watercolor panting of a kitten in grey tones, only the bell on his collar is orange.

Remember that time I tried oil painting? 🐙 My octopus experiment — messy, fun, and full of colour!

💙 Blue Pansy in Bloom 💙
I love the way watercolour lets you capture both delicacy and depth in one stroke, and this little blue pansy is a perfect example

Painted another viewer request yesterday - a wolf... to make it fun, I painted him swimming. I get why he looks not amused... water was probably cold. But he made it surely safely out the water.

#art #artist #traditionalart #animalart #watercolor
Watercolor painting of a wolf swimming, only the top of the wolf is visible, his fur orange to black is wet. He looks ahead, focused, the snout is white with a black nose. His silhouette mirrored in the water surface, broken by ripples in the water.

Painted pumpkins yesterday on stream using ink. I got this ink over 15 years ago... Yeah, my supplies become vintage all on their own now. But it worked wonderfully. On rough watercolor paper, using lots of wet in wet, layering carefully and now they look nice and bright and glowy.

#art #ink
A sketchbook on a wooden table, with a lot of green and yellow colored pumpkins painted on top. They're painted loosely, colors flow into each other and the stripes are sometimes clear and sometimes not. The colors are pretty bright. On the page the painting has a black frame painted. Next to the sketchbook is a flower shaped palette with some colors inside and a few brushes on top. Same sketchbook, but different page. There are again many pumpkins painted on the page, this time they are yellow to bright red. Different shapes, glowing from the page. Again there is a palette with left over ink and some brushes next to it on the table.

This little pumpkin was brought to life with paints I’ve been secretly working on.
They’re handmade, artist-grade, and vegan friendly — but that’s all I’ll say for now.
More will be revealed soon… 🎃✨

🍁🍄 A perfect start to Autumn 🍂

I started the month with a day of getting lost in my watercolours.

Nothing says cosy like sitting down with a mug of tea and painting.

I can't wait to share more botanical art.

My brain woke me up with a little story of the dragon Heribert, who is very much in love with his art supplies and loves to draw. But sadly humans are a bit afraid...

Inked with fountain pen, because... why not?

#art #comic #fountainpen
A little comic in a little sketchbook with a turquoise fountain pen on the right. The ink used is turquoise. First image shows a dragon who waves friendly at people, who run away in fear. Text says: This is Heribert the dragon, who tries to be friendly. Second image: Little dragon lies on grass drawing flowers on a piece of paper. Text says: He just loves to draw. Third image: A curled up dragon sleeps on his hoard of papers, artworks, pens and pencils. Text says: That's why his precious hoard are art supplies and paintings.
