Hello! I'm rosie. I'm a self-taught traditional artist. I love books and movies and my mean little bird. Here to post art and look at art.
Doodoodoo doo doo, painting, painting, painting! Did the steps and the studies and the practices, and now I I get to paint!

Aaaaaright, so I'm trying again with this (much larger) painting of the Owl King from The Starless Sea because he lives rent-free in my head.

Wahoo!

Oh, my queen. Anyone else a little bit in love with Calanthe? Swoon.

Working on the wedding portrait I started for my sister back in January. Having a lot of trouble finishing this one. Acrylic just isn't really my medium, but it really seems like the best for a Bob's Burgers style portrait.

Alright, so here's my finished angel, and I am DISSATISFIED. We're going to go on to take 3. It was at least 10 years between the last two paintings. Maybe I'll get it together faster this time.

My husband really be messaging me anti-tea wordplay in the middle of the day at work.

I'd marry him again.

For reasons.

Aaaaaanyway, here's a WIP I started during the hurricane when I was working from home. It's a repaint of the first big painting I ever did, and I'm thinking of repositioning hands and wings. What d'ya think?

Goodness, watercolor is so fun. You never really know how it's going to turn out until you're at the end. My fave.

Anyway, I made this little fishy into a sticker, and I love it!

This one was so fun! I love doing linocut. Nothing is more satisfying than those nice long cuts! This was a fun linocut and with watercolor. Next time, I'm definitely using more ink, but I like how it turned out!

Has anyone read The Starless Sea? It's definitely one of my favorite books. Ever since I read it the first time, I wanted to paint the King of Owls. Long story long, here's the sketches for the painting. 🥳

P.S. you should read the book.
