Today's art: a zen doodle & watercolor workbook painting of a spotted towhee. I like tutorials & workbooks when learning to paint.They help you understand how watercolor behaves while you learn techniques.

Primera vez practicando cómo pintar piel con lápices de colores.
¿El dibujo tiene algunos… detalles? Sí. ¿Vamos a hablar de ellos? No. 😂
Paso a paso, sin buscar la perfección 💪

Chris was wearing a paperboy cap, and that and his goatee just really weren't coming across well until I FINALLY came across this fix! Most of my attempts at faces would've been so much more successful if I'd stumbled on this earlier. #art #learningtopaint #hopefulartist #watercolors

My first version of Petra Thölken’s “Japanese Water Lilies” (on the book and YouTube).
Second attempt already started, but it’s not too bad I think 💕 Also mine are more cherry blossoms ☺️ 🌸

My pear is comically rotund 😂 my sketch did not start out like this, I promise. Maybe i should just stick with YouTube walk-thru videos for a bit to get used to how oils work

Finished my kiwi painting, though I dislike it very much. Decided on a whim to use up paints left on my palette so as to not waste them and painted the rocky landscape on a whim and actually kind of love it.

Funny how that works.

After a lifetime's fear of paints (especially watercolours) I joined a 'keeping sketchbooks and journals' class today, and had a go. Hopefully my next beetroot will look less anemic than this one, but I enjoyed the process so much more than I expected and can't wait to try again! #learningtopaint

One of my favorite pages in my notebook. These were done within the first few days of trying gouache and I was instantly hooked by the creamy, opaque vividness.

I’m always happy to be bad at something if it means I get to learn.

Three paintings over two pages of a notebook opened in front of a street. One is an orange on black background with orange and white dotted lines around it. Center is a pink and blue sunset with highlights of mauve and black. Right is a series of thick squiggly lines outlined by black and highlighted with white.

Finished this awesome gnome, I could have spent another week on this but you have to draw a line somewhere!

At new years eve I started oil painting, something I had been secretly yearning for pretty much ever since I started learning art about a year ago. Here are the four oil paintings I've done so far, making good progress.
