Oh, I can finally do this thing with my latest painting!

I'm still quite slow and clumsy with my Blender blockouts (but I'm getting better!), but even that janky scene on the left made the concept real and gave me what I needed to make it good.

Chrono Trigger: Waiting

Fiona dreams of growing a forest to save the land laid waste, but it'll take centuries, so Robo stays behind to help tend to the trees long after her lifetime. 400yrs later you find him, rusted and broken down amid a lush forest, Fiona's dream accomplished🌳

I finished a small painting in a rush this morning and haven't yet emptied the thick, tea-colored paint water that's sitting next to my actual tea mug. Place your bets now.

(Oh yeah, here's the painting, for @maddybellwoar.com's Monthy Art Show stream today)

You saw some art I made earlier (ty again for feedback!), so here's a goober Poppy offering, I hope you find it uplifting:

My Google storage is 98% full and I don't want to deal with it, but I need to keep taking photos of Poppy.

...and I guess continuing to receive emails and other files is good too.

It turns out that this morning's visitors were a flock of blue tits! (photo by @robhainescreative.space)

(the marsh tits had been definitely visiting our feeder prior, as we have photos of them, so we assumed as much until Rob checked his camera this afternoon and saw the colors up close!)

Update: my husband checked his camera and it turns out it was a flock of blue tits after all! I'm delighted!

I painted a mushroom study with gouache for @maddybellwoar.com's September Art Club!

Although I usually work with more saturated colors, I wanted to try mixing an earthier palette to suit the earthy, autumnal ref 🍂

I painted a study of a European Green Woodpecker for this month's #BirdWhisperer! What a pretty bird, with so much going on!

I couldn't finish the weekend without trying another tree based off yesterday's tutorial, this time it's autumn-flavored!

Sure, I could've toned down the orange, but it's so grey and rainy outside that I decided Maximum Orange was necessary.

Last week was a mossy rock tutorial, which I realized I hadn't posted here yet:

I'm new to gouache and attempting one or two simple studies every weekend; today's my first attempt at a tree! (thanks to @maddybellwoar.com's YouTube tutorials and her brushes!)

Hi and thank you for the art share, Julia! Thought I'd share my favorite painting of this year (so far):

A vibrant red Pompadour Cotinga for this month's #BirdWhisperer! (digital; 2hrs)

It was already so red in the reference photo, but I decided to push the surrounding colors way down to really enhance it.

For anyone who's sick of the summer, hang in there! Poppy has started demanding lots more lap cuddles and cozy time this week. Despite the temps stating otherwise, autumn's on its way!🍂

Today's my birthday!🎉

While I'm hard at work on my next 2(!) paintings, it'd mean a lot to me if you shared my work far and wide 💐

Also, please use my birthday as an excuse to treat yourself to a small nice thing today, and feel free to tell me about it below 💖

Some M4 sunset studies, ~30min each

My process from one of the study pages: started w/ a rough color/value blockout, then dabbed in grouped areas of color (I'm not ashamed to say there was lots of color picking from the ref for this part bc learning!), followed by *a lot* of painting.

These studies took a while but I learned so much!

I forgot to post about this! For Plein April, I did a master study of a nature scene from Vanillaware, who I've admired for years. I took a ref from Unicorn Overlord (1st image) and broke it down into 9 tiles so I could work more closely w/ each area (and less overwhelm). The 2nd image is my result:
