Finally did a #dtiys challenge!! I found this lovely drawing by @hazelisnuts_ as a part of her #hazel15k drawing challenge. Messed around a bit with gouache and colored pencil 🦋 Definitely still a beginner in those mediums, but I like how it came out 🌸💕
A closeup of my painting I did a couple months ago titled “Jasmine” 🦋 I do have openings for commissions in the style! Pet and owner portraits are always my favorite 🌸 DM me or visit my website if you’re interested 🌸 My cat Jasmine is the maim muse in this painting and she likes the meow at midnight for food and bite my foot in the middle of the night 🥰 . . . . . #artist_sharing #catpainting#selfportrait#artist#oilpainting#oilpainter#portraitartist#artcommissions#supportlocalartists #paintingcommissions #kitty#painterly#nightsky#sketchbook#traditionalartwork #traditionalart
very rough beginnings on my new #wip painting featuring the Goddess Circe and some pretty cute tigers 🐯 This is a very rough first layer, but I still have to plan out the background 🦋 Circe is known as the Goddess who turned the men who wronged her into animals. Often portrayed as them being either swines, lions, or tigers 🐯 Hope everyone is doing well! I’m sick with a cold but I’m glad it happened this week and not next week, since schools starts and I don’t want to miss a day 😂💙 . . . . #portraitartist#artwip#paintingwip#greekgoddess#oilpainting#oilpaint#drawing#oilonpanel#imprimatura#circe#tigers#portraitartist#fantasyartist#fantasyartwork#carveouttimeforart
#tb to my piece titled “Float” 🦋 This was 9x12 inches graphite on toned grey paper. This is still one of my favorite illustrations 💕 I’ve been slacking on starting a new oil painting, but I have a couple ideas and i’m excited to start them 💙
