I haven't used charcoal since like high school but seal points are *begging* to be rendered in charcoal and Mab was looking so elegant. #siamese #cat #catart #artsky #traditionalart #artbyhumans #siamesecat #drawing

A person posted a quilt made by MY GRANDMA in a fb group I’m in. She made it in the 90’s for auction at our July 4th family reunion. The poster didn’t buy it and now I’m hoping to get someone to secure it for me. #goodwill #quilting #genealogy #thrifting www.reddit.com/r/indianapol...

Finally found a way to display my tiny paintings. I wanted photo ledges but they don’t come in miniature. Scrabble tile racks are basically the same thing tho! Can paint these white and stick ‘em to the wall. 🙂 #gouache #traditionalart #painting #artsky

Sometimes I like having a bright underpainting. Gouache reactivates watermedia, obviously , so I’ve started reaching for my alcohol based markers. #painting #gouache #watercolor #artbyhumans #tiger #animalart #artsky #wip

Wanted to give the binder clips + split ring paint organizing a try. I don’t think I’ll end up using this to store paint, but I like it for the paint I’m currently using. #artist #gouache #traditionalart

This is the most black I’ve ever used in a painting and I’m real impressed with the coverage of W&N ivory black. #gouache #art #painting #artwip #traditionalart #artbyhumans #phantomoftheopera

The Zorn(ish) palette is very different for me. I never use black but enjoyed it in this case. #dollyparton #portraitpainting #artsky #gouache #artbyhumans #traditionalart
