Last stream's painting - I really ought to draw more randomly floating animals. This one is mixed media with gouache, watercolor (Dreamland colorshift paints are awesome), and various pens and inks

Fun stream last night painting a toucan! Thanks for the raids @EvarynRose, @j1mbers, and @dixeechris.bsky.social - y'all are gremlins of the finest vintage.

First stream back after quite a break and I am so happy to be back!

Tonight's painting is @paleontologizing.bsky.social 's velociraptor! I was lucky enough to meet Paleontologizing at TwitchCon, and what he does for science outreach and communication is amazing - definitely check him out on Twitch!

I've added some new Original Art to my shop in hopes of being able to pay off today's vet bill before the sun consumes the planet. If you've been looking for the perfect thing to throw darts at, or use to carry a spider outside (cup not included) then these are perfect!

WIP of a kingfisher i sketched out a few weeks ago - couldn't sleep so i figured i'd work on it a bit. still havent decided if i want to leave the sky white behind the bird, or just do some simple clouds.

The new book is now live on amazon! 22 hand drawn pages, a lot of which were done live on Twitch, solid black page backs to help with bleed through, and not an AI in sight!

You can order one right now at a.co/d/1nNw2wN

Only five pages left to draw and the next coloring book will be ready to go! Better yet, all five are sketched and just need the linework. Here's a preview for y'all~

I got myself a set of HIMI gouache for my birthday and I've been playing around with them. It's gonna take some getting used to them, how they blend, how they don't. So far I'm having fun doing my best Lisa Frank impression with colours.

I got hit hard today with the 1-2 combo of fatigue and brain fog, so despite wanting to be better at sticking to my stream schedule, I spent the whole day in bed.

Monday's stream should be good to go, and will be a themed art day - everything orange for Auri's 5th birthday. Yes, my cat's birthday.

Here's the painting from last night's birthday stream. Thank you everyone for a fantastic birthday. Y'all are entirely too kind and too generous and I am more grateful for the community than I can ever say.

Got some granulating paints as a birthday present (a couple days early, but what the hey) and tried 'em out on on the Arches paper that came along with them. These are gonna be fun.

Tried playing around with gouache in addition to watercolor and shockingly I don't hate it. Guess I'll have to play around some more and see if I can add it in to my usual mix of medias. The unicorn is shimmery, the scanner just doesn't show it.

here's a sneak peek at an upcoming page for the coloring book that's in the works! The theme is putting antlers on critters they don't belong on, and how could I resist the opportunity to draw a version of a jackalope?

Painted this one a few days ago because I wanted to do something with some gold ink. The full image is a scan and the detail images are from my phone, so the colours are a bit wonky. Its still available for sale if anyone wants it!

Got two more pages done for the next coloring book on stream tonight. So now we're sitting at 6/22 pages and on track to finish by mid June!

I've had pretty bad brain fog this week and my attention span has been basically zero before I just zone out completely for minutes at a time. Docs still dunno why.

That said, I *did* get a couple sketches done, and this bookmark, so that's nice at least.

Finished up the fairy horse! The wings are colorshift paint from Dreamland Watercolor and shimmer like dragonfly wings, which looks much better cool in person. Painted live on Twitch, and finished offline.

12x6 watercolor, ink, posca

someone really liked that pink unicorn last week, but it had already sold. I was asked to make another one, same artwork but with more purples and blues. I like this one even better than the first.

Apparently I'm still in a horsey mood. This one will have shimmery rainbow wings, dragonflyish. At least that's the plan. Guess time will tell if it works. The lines are the Bombay inks by Dr Ph Martin's, and they're a lot of fun to work with.

Tonight's painting, completed while drinking copious amounts of coffee and water, thanks to chat and that damned hydrate redeem.

A little water foal I doodled tonight, and who knows, maybe I'll slap some paint on it in the future.
