Check out this gorgeous swatch brochure from @grahamandbrown! I’ve added paintings to the first four swatches so far. The paints with proper names will be wee animals ❤️ I polled the patreon folks for ideas (🔗 in bio) Anyhoo - I’m gonna FILL this sucker! Stay tuned! (there are almost 100 swatches)

They want us to complain about the postal service, the public bus, Amtrak, public schools. They want that miniscule, repeated buy-in. Refuse it. Appreciate and care for our common good. That's daily and practical solidarity

Watched lots of art history, walked into my studio, saw a little piece of balsa, and thought “why not try?” Behold, my eye (the one that gave me all of the trouble last week) as a bit of a relief carving. It was fun! SOOOO different! #art #eye

A brilliant, informed thread. As ever, those who would benefit most from reading this won’t. But for the rest of us, it’s well worth a few moments of your time.

A baker’s dozen of patrons! I am THRILLED! Just in three days, I’ve been inspired to post 7 times & four teeny tiny swatch paintings are among them. Something is shifting & I love it. The more motivated I am in art, the more I have for everything else. Like revolution. patreon.com/meganfoldenauer

DEI should have our support bc it’s the right thing to but also sticking up for DEI shows everyone that you do not CAPITULATE to WEENIES and i feel like that gets overlooked.

This has been a long time coming & VERY hard to hit "publish" on... if you could check out patreon.com/meganfoldenauer that would be amazing! It has all sorts of artsy perks (discounts, early access to new art, behind-the-scenes, and original work, etc.) THANK YOU & back to painting I go! Gulp!

Thursday - T-house-day 5/52 where I draw/paint something from my homestead on gray paper. Another metal item - one of my watercolor tubes - I wonder if I have enough metallic things around here to continue the theme?? #drawing #watercolor #realisticart #365dayproject #art #artchallenge

The human heart cut in half is done. I started it on inauguration day… not a coincidence. This is just one pencil - a vintage 4H Berol Turquoise. It was very meditative & intimate given the level of detail & how small it is (picture 3 is 4x6” so each heart is about 2” wide maybe?) #sciart

The country is falling apart but here goes Tiny Oil Tuesday No. 5/52 - My tastes, food wise, have been described as odd. I hate some “normal” things like whole tomatoes & pickles - LOVE all blue cheese, brussels sprouts… OM NOM NOM. #cheeselover #365daysofart #oilpainting #tinypainting

The country is in the midst of a coup, but here’s Monday’s anatomy drawing anyway. Morgue Monday 5/52 is me messing around with a kidney sketch. Turning structures around in my brain to understand what’s really happening. One of my favorite things I get to do as a medical illustrator. #sciart

Saturday - #4/52 where I take a @skillshare class that’s outside my “comfort zone” (ie, I’ve never really tried before). This is the 1st step in “Inky Maps: Illustrate a Beautiful Map” where I choose 5-10 points of interest in my town WHICH IS HARD. Sooooo much more to come… #maps #drawing #365days

Wednesday - Wee Collection Wednesday #4/52 where I arrange (knoll) things neatly and this time it’s NUDIBRANCHS! If these guys were discovered now, everyone would accuse it of being AI. Seriously, just look at them! I could paint them forever.

Saturday #3’s @skillshare #handlettering class with @iamgiagraham is complete! So thorough and easy to follow. I’ve been informally hand lettering since I was quite young but i’d never spent much time with any of the rules… I’m so glad i did! I feel so much more confident!
