Heron guarding the space between worlds, mixed media

This is very much a 'I can't believe I actually made this' piece😄

A Heron walks through a landscape of flowing colours. The bird looks to the side and has one wing half extended, its legs are submurged in water

Day 1 of birdtober2025, the banded penguin!

I usually last approximately 3 days on these month long challenges, so lets see how it goes this time, hoping for the best!

My first acrylic painting since 2020, still as annoyingly difficult as I remember, but pretty fun nonetheless

If you were to re-learn acrylic, what do you wish you were told?

I was asked to hold a course in it, which I of course agreed to! But now I'm absolutely cramming since haven't used them since 12th grade😬

I was supposed to post an owl update today, but I procrastinated painting with a deep dive on lead acid batteries (spoiler: boring). Also i feel really sick whenever I look at stuff (yay having periods) so gull repost it is😅

A black headed gull (the head is brown, not black) looking at the viewer from behind its extended wing. Behind and around it there are flowy lines tangling with the bird and each other

Reposting horse friend bc I won't be able to work of personal projects for a few more days🥲

Also, finally edited the saturation on the butterfly A Lot so it wouldn't stick out as much😆

This is my most 4th attempt at a linocut print, and it's the most recent, maaybe a year old at this point?

#SciArtSeptember 2: Canopy

Tried doing a tiny painting using a 1cm brush... not happening again😂

I have a crush on someone for the first time in 7 years and I'm currently overthinking a three word message. I thought I was better than this🫠

@ ppl who knows more about social media than me:

Now that I've gotten the hang of posting my art I want to try expaning to other platforms

Any suggestions?

I really have no idea which ones are good for posting art nowadays haha

You know who might rest its beautiful wings on an islet? A mighty, slightly weird-proportioned, cormorant😌 #SciArtSeptember

This is about 2 years old I think, my 3rd ever Lino print😆

Painted this when I felt like I was about to faint, that's why it's a bit wonky lol. I saved an entire 10€ on a medical procedure by buying a scalpel + some local anesthesia & doing it myself✌️✨

Horrible idea🫠
