Printmaking project 1! This is a drypoint etching (no matter how much my autocorrect wants it to be a "DuPont etching"). The last one is the sketch in preparation for etching it. #artist #printmaking #etching #drypoint #drypointetching #print #artschool

First four together! They're currently arranged in a diamond shape on my art wall, I'm likely going to make prints or a sticker pack or both once the print lab at my school opens up again for the year! #watercolor #ink #painting #aquarelle #traditionalart #watercolour

Another from the hands series, two of the ones I've done so far have an apple and this is one of them - I did this one first and needed something thematically matching to put on the other side of my current art wall so I did another! #watercolor #painting #ink #traditionalart #artist

Been working on practicing with hands and feet more with these quicker sketches in a little sketchbook I've had since middle school... abandoned it a long time ago but figured I'd finish it up this summer! #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #practice

Final portrait! This is 22 x 30 in watercolor, the biggest I've worked in this medium! It's not my usual style either but it was for a school project. #art #artschool #watercolor #aquarelle #painting

Test painting for a muuuuuch larger piece, will be my first large watercolor piece! This one is about 8.5 x 8.5 but the final one will probably be around 22 x 30

I may go back and add more red or yellow, I feel like my yellow got very green in this one so I may balance it out with a bit of a warmer yellow tone

Newest painting! Trying to figure out feathers and fur in watercolor... it's been difficult and this definitely isn't great in that aspect but I think it looks good overall!
