N°13, Mariam. This portrait was extremely difficult, and after 3 trials I am still not happy, but I have to let go. Thank you to @mariam.fawal, our muse, and of course to @dylan-sara.bsky.social #observationaldrawing #portraitsinmysketchbook #karabullockartschool #drawingwithdylan

https://www.erinhanson.com/portfolio/sunflowers "Sunflowers" Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson 2019 24 x 30 in ORIGINAL SOLD Prints Available About the Painting I can see why Van Gogh loved to paint wilted sunflowers... the drooping shapes and richer hues of orange make for very interesting compositions! I love the way the warm yellows of the sunflowers pop against the lavish red backdrop. The brush strokes are loose and impressionistic, capturing the flowing lines of the still life.

I am a big fan. The vivacity of your paintings is really something. They make my day 🤗

https://www.erinhanson.com/portfolio/winds-of-four-corners Winds of Four Corners Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson 2025 26 x 32 in About the Painting The last time I visited the Four Corners region of the Colorado Plateau was several years ago. The big, beautiful blue sky was full of white fluffy clouds--the perfect high desert weather. I took photos of Monument Valley from a few miles away, watching the clouds pass shadows over the red rock buttes below. I printed this photo when I returned from my trip, and I have been wanting to paint it ever since. When I paint, I try to recapture what it felt like to actually stand there, my feet sinking into the warm, soft red sand, a breeze ruffling my hair, squinting into the sky, and feeling surrounded by beautiful color 360 degrees around me.

Fresh off the Easel!

Quick portraits in ink

Trying my parallel pen (thanks @dylan-sara.bsky.social 😉) at @drawingisfree_org bei (thanks Chloe!) session.. It’s really difficult to use for quick portraits but sometimes very rewarding.

This is a mid-quick (20min if I reckon properly) portrait of @heysen_the_cedars aka Hans Heysen, the Australian landscape painter whose work Dylan introduced us to.

Ink and wash portrait of Hans Heysen done in the 20min allocated to it during the Zoom meeting

Again so much fun yesterday evening with @dylan-sara.bsky.social and @gris030.bsky.social ! Interview + Tips + Live sketching + Both of them = a great night.

Those kind of palette (I own many, art toolkit and others) are for quick sketching on the way, no puddles or big mixing. The art toolkit has an opening at the end of the ridge anyway, to allow air to flow. Important so that there is no mold.

Question: why do you want a water barrier?

Large sunflower blooms blossom with color across this large, impressionistic painting. The lively, impasto brush strokes add excitement and motion to the piece.
