Illustration in colour. A cluster of ivy. Lords and ladies berries, bright orange and red with a few green ones still there, are growing out of it. A mouse is poking her head out from behind ivy. On one of the lords and ladies berry sticks there’s a big brown snail.

A dog seen from the back, carrying a stick. She's on the edge of a field. On the horizon there's a sunrise poking out of the trees. Everything is orangey pink.

Little critter in procreate, based of a tiny watercolour doodle. #character #illustration #art #silly
Black and white illustration. A dragon seen from the side. His body is a flower. He has flowy tail and mane elements and big ears. Gives off a vibe of a tiny animal.

Hello! I’m Zuzia Turek Oliveira. I’m an artist and illustrator, although I work full time in retail so don’t have a lot of time for social media. I walk a lot around with my dog and husband and take my own reference photos.

I painted this last spring with left arm in cast! My arm is still wonky but it works. Somehow this whole kerfuffle is still affecting my mind - I’m even more introverted now #art #watercolour #illustration #health #shutdown #surgery
A very detailed painting of 6 roe deer. Between them a mist is split into thin snakes. There’s hundreds of tiny plants and crows on trees. Close up on the deer. As they’re further from the front of image, they get less detailed and more painterly. There’s lords and ladies plants and small bracken, mushrooms and flowering trees. Close up of a flowering branch of a tree. There are two jackdaws on it. Below, tiny figures of a man and women hide between undergrowth. Above, a dog by a puddle. The artist plays with scale, making her family tiny and nature large. Close up on the forest edge ground. Tiny new bracken is popping up. There are mushrooms, other ferns, stinging nettles, lords and ladies plants, and some tiny fantasy creatures and animals. Two tiny women are hiding between nettles. They are the same person.

My day job is boring and frustrating. I usually feel like I’m wasting my time there. To try to feel a bit less frustrated, I’m spending my 30minute breaks on planning next artwork. I’m trying to sketch one out every workday. I won’t finish most but at least there’s something to show after 7 hours

I take photos of tiny details and landscapes during our walks and later make super complicated art informed by everything we saw
A photo of two foxgloves flowers in a shadowy setting A photo of a tree stump with ivy growing on it. Only the treee stump is in focus A photo of a horned sheep on a frozen field. Behind him, there is a naked winter hedge and a frozen pile of sticks. Everything in sun is yellow and everything in the shadow is blue A watercolour and ink artwork of a frog on a rock, surrounded by autumnal nature

I take a lot of reference photos and just for fun photos. I’m definitely not a photographer but sometimes I manage some photos I genuinely enjoy looking at. #hobby #landscape #photography #referencephotos
A photo of a horned sheep in the middle of a frosty paddock. Behind it, there’s a pile of sticks. Further behind, a bare fruit tree looking very witchy and a scraggly winter hedge. All shadows are blue and light is warm yellow. A photo of a frosty landscape of two hedges separating three fields. Above them trees give long blue shadows. In a small patch of sunlight near the centre of the picture, two horses are standing facing to the left of the frame. A photo of a minimalist frosty landscape. A pasture covered in frosty grass with a fence cutting it in half at 30 degrees angle. Out of the frame, trees are casting long blue shadows nearly up to the fence. In the small patch of sunlight near the fence there are two horses.

Black and white illustration. A dead pigeon on his back is lying on a bed of round leaves. He looks like he’s having a nap. This illustration is clearly not finished.

Pencil sketch of a fox walking through the clump of bearded iris in full flower. On the border there is an arch made of little pictures. It's very clearly a work in progress. A close up on the arch of pictures, with a deer, cat, violet, dog, etc
