Make art, not war Retired tattoo artist due to medical issues, on a different art journey. I am not a seasoned painter. I’ve been doing it for years but not meaningfully, but I’d like to change that this year. This is my journey 🤍

There is beauty, even in the mundane. #watercolor #danielsmith #artist #showerthoughts

Eeek I’m so excited to try these! #danielsmith #watercolor #blickartsupply#artist

I’m a bit weak on trees, so I’m going to do a tree study today. Been a bit since I’ve been able to paint, it’s been a crazy week. I hope you all have been able to find time to paint! Show me what you’ve been working on #watercolor #artist #practice

little one from Kristin VanLeuven 100 mini paintings in a year. I recommend her YouTube, she has some great tutorials & lessons. It’s been helping me find some confidence. I do appreciate being able to be vulnerable with the Bluesky community 🤍 Thank you #watercolor #fineart #painter

There is a YouTuber Kristin VanLeuven who has the cutest little projects. I did her little mushrooms tonight. I totally messed up the top of the little one right at the end 😭 tried to salvage it, ah well, as Bob Ross says, no mistakes, only happy accidents. #watercolor #painting #artist #fineart

If I could live in this photo, I would

Beautiful

I bought a watercolor journal. I always felt pressure to frame everthing I made, and was harsh on myself if I made something that wasn’t good enough to be framed. This alleviates that pressure. Anyhow, painted a quickie for the journal to make myself feel better about my gradients😅 #watercolor

How did you find your style when it came to your art? I tend to enjoy painting landscapes and illustrative the most, but find myself wanting to focus on one so as to grow my skill. I’m leaning towards landscape. #watercolor #fineart #artist

So while I have been doing watercolor for years, I’ve mostly been falling forward. Anything I’ve done well, has always been by accident. So I’ve decided to start over and, well, start with the basics. Something I never did. Which is evident by these gradients lol 😂🫣 #watercolor #fineart
