Sketchbook page with a painting of a tree with foliage in the background

I shouldn’t be surprised that I have more blue and green paints, colored pencils, and water soluble crayons than any other colors.

I’ve been really drawn to painting landscapes and seascapes lately. As beautiful as the snow is, I’m missing spending more time outside!

Thanks for the repost @annyare.bsky.social!

Painting of a tree in vibrant pinks, oranges, and blues

As someone who defaults to representational art, it’s been a fun personal challenge to branch out (tree pun intended!)

Also, Daniel Smith’s Pyrrol Scarlet would be a good warm red to compliment your cooler red/pinks on your current palette

I find Daniel Smith’s Buff Titanium to be a versatile color for landscapes (especially beaches) and buildings

Trying out the mini black #watercolor paper I bought on a whim 🐠

Thank you!

That would be great! Insight into other artist’s processes and trial/error is always fascinating to me

A few, small (bookish) acts of rebellion & fuckery
*prioritize books by marginalized authors (pre-order their books, it sends a message that this is what we want)
*shop indie bookstores
*celebrate the achievements of marginalized creators
*read banned books
*support library programming and services

Painting of red poppies on a green background with smaller yellow, purple, and white flowers fading into the background

Continuing to experiment with gouache, especially in mixed media sketches. I love how nicely colored pencil can layer with it.

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Autumn's Coast" oil on Ampersand Gessobord, 8"x8" (2024). Moody, atmospheric seascape with an earth tone color palette that includes greens and reddish browns on the seashore

I like the greens in this palette, especially now that we're deep into wintertime here.

Lovely work! I’m also a fan of Daniel Smith’s Buff Titanium, especially for seascapes and in architecture

Thank you! I also find it helps me get started because then I’m not staring a blank page

Okay, how do you make friends here?

Illustrators, scientists, nature-obsessed folk – come connect! I create art inspired by the Earth and my favourites are rocks!

Here’s a selection of some projects from the past year 🪨

The painting that made me like watercolors. Had never cared for them at all. Then one day while studying Sargent I came across Muddy Alligators and couldn't believe it was a watercolor painting. It was my laptop wallpaper for many years.
