Mom, why is there a giant chihuahua eating the sun? You know son, sometimes in life, there just aren't any answers...

Is this the nicest snail that has ever been watercolored? Hmm no, but it's done! Finished is better than perfect

After sleuthing around on the internet for longer than I'd like to admit, I've finally come up with a drawing challenge method that might work for me: simple, small, square drawings inside my sketchbook that take no longer than 15-20 min

A little relaxing study of a Fragonard

Watercolor study of an 18th-century nobleman (and a handsome one at that!). This time the face and outfit were chosen by my boyfriend, who seemingly has excellent taste.

Super fun to work on and get all the details in the suit!

Did I get so into this study that I forgot to take pictures before the current state of affairs? Yes. Do I love painting handsome men in 18th century clothing? I mean...

This study was brough to you by my sister Sara! I asked her to pick a face from a Pinterest board, and a style from the other, so I could make a study and challenge myself a little, with choices that I probably wouldn't have made

Just really wanted to highlight these details once again

Do you ever wonder what you could accomplish if you weren't tired and in pain all the time? Ahah me neither 💀

Some mornings start with coffee. Others start with silk stockings and watercolor.

Watercolor sketch inspired by 18th-century fashion and femininity. Playing with soft tones, texture, and light. And she's looking very saucy if you ask me...

I'm back in my 18th century bullshit, who would've guessed!

Making something cute for Halloween instead of something spooky? What can I say, I'm a rebel!
Happy Halloween everyone!

I couldn't really let October slide by without a frog, witch, pumpkin or anything else #Halloween adjacent now could I?

The flesh and the fruit and the blood in the wine - the Aurora illustration is finally finished!
October 20, 2025 at 9:14 AM
Almost done! Just one last skeleton before the illustration based on Aurora's Blood in the Wine is finally finished... I think I'll almost miss working on it
October 17, 2025 at 9:14 AM
Work progresses on the Blood in the Wine illustration. Snakes, roses... and now skeletons! Yeah, I can never stay on the "good" side too long. It's a chill skeleton though, does that count?
October 15, 2025 at 9:14 AM
If snakes aren't your cup of tea, I have good news: it's time to work on some roses!

This little detail is part of a larger illustration, inspired by the Blood in the Wine, by Aurora
