The WHALE SHARK for today’s entry #FishyFeb hosted by @victoriapfeiffer.bsky.social

The largest living fish! (About the size of a school bus) its mouth is at the front of the head unlike other sharks.

#art #artjournal #illustratedjournal #watercolorjournal
Picture shows an open illustrated journal with two whale sharks painted over the double spread. There’s a title at the top of the page that reads “WHALE SHARK” and annotations about this fish throughout the double spread.

#fishyfeb2025 is hosted by @victoriapfeiffer.bsky.social this is an OCEAN SUNFISH. I was struck by how big they can be so I added a diver by its side.

#watercolorjournal #art #illustratedjournal #fish #fishyfeb #molamola #sunfish #journallover #artchallenge #animalartist #februaryart #artjournal
This represents an open journal with two pages dated February 1st and 2nd. There is an Ocean sunfish along side a diver. The medium used is watercolor. Underneath that double spread are facts about that gentle giant of a fish.

BIRDS OF INDONESIA, double-spread in a sketchbook from Stillman and Birn.

#birds #birdlover #birdillustration #birdlover #sketchbookpage #sketchbookartist #art #aves #animalartist #birdartist #mixedmediaartist
This is a double-spread of a large sketchbook showing three endangered birds of Indonesia. The birds and a small map of Indonesia were painted using watercolor and finished with colored pencils. The title written across the two pages reads “birds of Indonesia”. Picture shows an open sketchbook and a watercolor paintbox laid on a desk. On the double spread are three birds endemic to Indonesia.
