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😆

Bird study WIP, I usually sketch in green ink and go over with pink or purple to neutralise it^^ (cough cough hide my mistakes)

#SciArtSeptember Riverbank, where a common swift soars around a lighthouse

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🫠

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🫠

My first ever oil pastel cormorant, since then oil pastels have become a staple in my art, only seconded to my love for watercolour☺️

As I moved towards a more realistic style I lost a lot of the movement that used to define my art.

It's definitely something I want to start exploring again, and what better way to do so than with a swallow?🥰

Quick bird studies to distract myself from this slight anxiety spiral🫠

It's fine really, but ugh

I've been in Trondheim för 2 days and have already started looking at apartments😆 I'm really not a city person but if I had to move to one this is definitely it

You know that 14h bus trip? :) yeah it's on hour 19 and will be 24 total if everything goes as planned🫠

Missed the connection in Oslo bc the bus was late and had to wander around the city at 1am trying to find a hotell that was open 24h

Everything worked out in the end but STILL
