My sister in law has a lovely little poodle I tried my hand at drawing with my Albrecht Durer #FaberCastell pencils. I think it turned out really well! And the pencils are awesome to use.

A front-facing portrait of a small white poodle made with coloured pencils on brown paper. Only the upper chest and face/ears are visible in the portrait, centered on the paper.

A sketch before I paint!

Initial pencil sketch of an English Staffordshire Bullterrier dog. She's looking inquisitively at the viewer as if trying to understand what's going on.

Love this damn cat so much.

#blueskycats #catsofbluesky #watercolour #painting #petportrait #gingercat #tabbycat #redcat

Watercolour painting of a red cat sitting in a sunny windowsill. The cat looks directly at the viewer and is partially in shadow. Next to the cat are two glass jars, and surrounding the cat there is a lot of house plants. The foreground is quite dark and difficult to make out. There is a halfway open window in the background and blue skies.

The shirt and overall look that inspired this painting followed me to both a pride demonstration and a carnival two weekends back to back!

#loveislove #pride #protectthedolls #transrights #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #sketchbook

A femme person wears red stirrup socks, open black short shorts, a red garter belt with a bow on it, and a pink t-shirt that says "protect the dolls" she stands in contraposto and shows off the peace sign with one hand while resting the other on her hip. She smiles with closed eyes and has her long undercut hair in a bun. She also wears an earring that looks like roadkill.

A little study from a plane I was on! For some reason my seat wasn't next to my family.

#sketchbook #art #pencilstudy #stilleben #stillife

A pencil drawing in a sketchbook. The drawing depicts the upper end of the plane with both first class row seats visible and the cabin crew's work area. You can just about make out the door to the pilots. The plane is on a European KLM flight. On the seat at the very front of the plane there's just the top of a hat visible.

My most recent watercolor painting of my niece and her mother. They're taking photos of a frankly beautiful January sunset.

#watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #sunset #winter #portraitart #portrait #candidart #art

It's a watercolor painting of a cold January day where a mother is looking over her young daughter's shoulder as the daughter is looking at her phone. In the background there are small birch trees. The daughter is wearing a purple flower patterned winter jacket and the mother is wearing a hoodie. Shadows from the trees above are cast on the mother's forehead.

Another close-up of the watercolor painting I did of my nieces, this time my younger niece squinting at the sun. I personally really like the light reflection on the back of her hand.

Bedbound with hip pain so here's a close-up of one of my paintings of my nieces. I really like how the hand and face turned out despite the challenges posed by subpar paper.

#watercolor #watercolour #childportrait #portrait #portraitart #sunset

Close-up of a watercolor painting featuring a young girl shading her eyes with her right hand as she looks out across a field from a lookout. The sunset casts her in a red and yellow glow. She wears a gray hoodie and her brown hair is down. In the foreground her sister's head is just visible.

An idealised self portrait! I tested some better watercolor paper and I really like it so far.

#bodyjewelry #piercings #watercolor #watercolour #selfportrait #portraitart #sapphicart #alt

Watercolor painting of a woman with her sides shaved and the rest of her hair in a bun. She's wearing an emerald green cardigan and a crop top both with tassels. She's wearing a body chain and blue leggings. She wears several rings, necklaces, ear studs and a septum piercing. She's sitting on a checkered floor.
