Some watercolour sketches. See if you can spot the (ahem) 'deliberate' mistake in the picture on the right. Answer's in the alt text.
#painting #watercolour #art #sketchbook #watercolor
A photo of a sketchbook showing 2 small watercolour sketches. On the left hand side is an abstract coastal scene with rocks and pools and a distant cliff. On the right hand side is a scene of a golden field in front of distant hills and trees. There is a tree in the centre of the golden field but the tree's shadow is pointing in exactly the wrong direction because the artist is an idiot.

Some fanart for @froggyloch.art - in a world of black mold, a lone vtuber, armed only with a shillelagh, looks for the light.
Done in Rebelle 8.

A couple of fun guys, trying out different styles. Think I like the more abstract one more.

Happy #alienday to all who celebrate!!
Here's a couple of digital charcoal sketches done in Rebelle 7
#alien #xenomorph #art
Two digital sketches, looking like charcoal on cream coloured paper, using the erased charcoal to create the highlights that show the shape of the xenomorph from Alien. On the left, an image of the xenomorph, viewed from above, reaching toward the viewer. On the right, a view from the front showing the top of the alien's head, it's main mouth with the inner mouth inside.

A little digital oil painting, done in Rebelle 7.
Was in a sci-fi kind of mood and wanted to do something in the style of the great John Harris, one of my favourite artists.
#art #painting #digitalart #scifi #sciencefiction
A digital painting of a science fiction scene. In the foreground, a dark landscape at night, leading to a city in the middle distance with only the lights of the streets and buildings visible. Clouds rise above the city and beyond those, in the night sky, a large red planet with strange blue bands across its centre. A small moon floats in front of it, casting a shadow on the planet's surface.

Trying some digital oil paint for a change, a bit of Bloodborne fan art.
Done in Rebelle 7.

They have a red scarf over their nose and mouth, a pair of glasses on and shoulder length black hair. They are wearing a black hat as well. Behind them, a pale moon hangs in a red sky.

There are altogether too many things happening. I would like a break from the things. Anyway, here's a watercolour study of a crow painting I found on Pinterest by Alberto Mancini (I think).

Another little watercolour, a momentary respite from, you know, everything
#watercolor #art #watercolour #whimsy #painting
A small watercolour painting of an abstract landscape of muted browns and greens. In the foreground, some bushes sit in front of a lake. Beyond that, distant misty hills rise into a cloudy sky. A small orange sun hangs in the sky in the top right.
