Hi! Thank you for the opportunity! I'm Caro and I like to paint cute, whimsical and creepy stuff, and my work mostly features my OCs. I really love to work with traditional media (watercolour), but lately I've started exploring digital art more and more. Nice to meet you all!

watercolour illustration of a person sitting on the floor and surrounded by different kind of foliage and leaves and big, floating fish

Two young people in a kind of embrace. The shorter one, with short dark blue-green hair, a sad look on their face, puts their head on the shoulder of the taller man, their hand loosely grasping his t-shirt. The taller man is also short-haired, blond and has a serious look on his face. One of his hands rests on the head of his partner, the other on his arm. Both are wearing light blue-grey t-shirts. Behind them, and encircling them with their big tails, are two giant fish skeletons. The background is a dark blue-green, almost black, with some lighter water structures in the top part. The painting is done digitally with some brush strokes with visible texture.

This is so true. I had anticipated it for a long time, and then it was so different from what I expected. Loved it though

2019 & 2025. What do you think?

A Comparison of two watercolour illustrations:

Left: watercolour illustration of a boy wearing a blue hoodie with a green bowl cut. In his hand he’s holding a coffee to go cup with a straw, the lid popping open and the drink spilling out around him, forming two fishes, one looking at him.

Right - the redraw - watercolour illustration of a boy wearing a blue hoodie with a green bowl cut. In his hand he’s holding a coffee to go cup with a straw, the lid popping open and the drink spilling out around him, forming two several fishes, one looking at him, one resting in his hand. Swimming in the drink are some objects that look suspiciously similar to the eyes of the fishes.

Thank you so much, I'm happy to hear that!

Caro @wayofbrush.bsky.social · 16d

Thank you sooooo much! I'm happy you feel this way and it brings something across for you! 🥰

Caro @wayofbrush.bsky.social · 16d

Thank you, Mali 🥰

Caro @wayofbrush.bsky.social · 16d

Uhhh danke du Liebe 😭💙

Caro @wayofbrush.bsky.social · 16d

Thank you! I'm glad you feel this way!

Caro @wayofbrush.bsky.social · 16d

Thank you Fran!!! I'm so torn because while I think the second is better base-wise (the drawing itself) I think the first colouring is interesting, too...... I mean, obviously the second one is my standard approach to colouring nowadays....

Caro @wayofbrush.bsky.social · 16d

Thank you!! Glad you like them! I'm sometimes really kind of torn between a more flat and a more 3D approach to colouring...I'm forever undecided, haha!

Caro @wayofbrush.bsky.social · 16d

Thank you!!! Glad you like them both! The second one got so more vibrant, I didn't even pay attention to it, but it ended up this way, haha

Das wäre schon sehr nice!!!😍

I love OVER THE GARDEN WALL. It's a rock fact! 🤭
#overthegardenwall #watercolour #caro.art

A handpainted watercolor Fanart of the animates series "Over the garden wall" In the foreground, there's Wirt, a young boy with brown hair, wearing a dark blue mage's cape and a red hennin like hat. He's holding a lantern, a slightly stressed look on his face. Next to him is Greg, a smaller brown haired boy wearing a reversed teapot for a hat and a light green bib. With one hand, he's holding a rock with a painted face in Wirt's direction, smiling, and in the other hand he's holding a huge dark and light green frog, who's wearing a smile too. Next to Wirt we can see a little blue and pinkish bird fluttering, looking over sceptical to the boys. Looming behind them is a scary looking pumpkin ghost bearing his teeth. From the top of his head, a black cat peeks out. His body are light and dark green ribbons, floating behind Wirt and Greg. In the background we can see the silhouette of the beast, a figure with antler-like branches on their head, painted in dark, blotchy watercolours.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

A drawing I did for a contest held by the french convention Art to Play; the subject was "morning".
What's best than cuddle with your cat in bed? 😸

Caro @wayofbrush.bsky.social · 23d

This is lovely and I feel this in my soul 🥹 the atmosphere came out perfect, it looks so cozy and warm and just makes me smile. And yes, cat cuddles in bed are the best 😭 good luck for the contest!
