I bribed myself to leave the house and be social with strangers irl with a printmaking class the past few weeks—I’m so tired but holy fuck has it been good to make art near other people making art.
technique practice: borrowed magazine design, tetra pak (single serve shelf milk ~5x6.5”), print

walked past this bush in full bloom yesterday, felt pretty homesick
this is the color that started me down the pigment rabbit hole
I had bought a “quinacridone magenta” to paint azaleas but it wasn’t quite right. I learned I had a tube of PR202, not PR122
pigment codes unlock color wizardry ngl

finished a sneaky painting of a friend's avi (from pics at karaoke night!)
practicing glowy/emissive stuff.
pigments: PR122, PB16, DPP [transp. orange], PW6
there's really nothing like physical brush on paper, I feel like 70% less AAAAaaaaa after a few hours of painting

new free watercolor scrungle in my kofi!
I've been working in Blender lately and not painting, so this scrungle is just the paint I couldn't get off the kitchi palette maintenance toothpicks.
more hobbies, more time doing maintenance ;_;

I quit Fallout 76 (again) about a year ago. I can't help processing shit through its early narrative while building this fanart location in Blender

I’ve heard some WC paints don’t play well together. but watching a pan curdle like cheese as I mixed it was new for me ;.;
It’s my first tube of QOR brand. Is this the BIT? (is that ox gall?) Is it something in the proprietary Aquazol binder?
what the heck is the reaction that’s happening here?

still in the post-Furality con drop I'm calling "AAAAAaaaa I live in a body". Took care of my old sewing machine, used said machine to make a market bag, used bag at market, market veg converted to prepped ratatouille.
my body is so very angry, but nothing beats a tangible utility project; worth it

I forgot that when I let my sleep cycle rotate, I get to have quiet sunrises sometimes without needing to be a morning person.
I need to replace markers, but don’t want to do the cull. Some of them are 25 year old hand-me-downs from art friends that make me nostalgic for uni lunch art times.

The second best time is now.
I’m excited to reassemble this thing and finish up some UFO garments I abandoned in 2021.
Punching perfectionism in the face and accepting that what I do and make will be flawed and I will live through it.

I hauled around this moldy cardboard for the last 20 years believing I wasn’t worthy enough to alter (or use) the Featherweight I inherited.
I got the case this bare in 3 hours! (ow my bones tho)
It smells like hide glue now, but I don’t sneeze every time I look at it (thank you borax!)

I’ve only had the mending pile out for a day and already lost a needle to the carpet for a while. Thankfully found it with my eyes and not my foot.
The stitching is not my okayest but I can wear my summer flannel again without the hole getting bigger, and that’s W enough.

art book from 1830:
Everyone knows drawing hands sucks.
Learning to draw by copying anime eyes is cool and normal.
Once you can draw an eye you move on to furry shit.

I love overcast days and their weird colors.
a rushed layer of watercolor on a 2018 ink.
I could go for a meadow frolic rn but I'll settle for self-soothing with paint

when brain fried, just making some marks is soothing.
