How short are we talking? I’m 5’3” would it work for my height?

lol yes rub the dragons tummy! And your idea of doing a sculpture first for lighting paid off, such a good idea.

Love the lighting and pose! 🥰🥰

Beautiful lighting

Working on a barn owl oil painting. Trying out water mixable oil paints for the first time. My full review on these paints will be posted on my YouTube. #oilpainting #wildlifeart #owlpainting #barnowl #wildlifeartist

Thanks 😊

I’ve done a lot of green dragons but I think this one is my favorite. Post your green dragons! 🐉

Thank you so much. It kind of felt like ridding a bike lol 😂 I remembered some techniques right away and others I was like how the heck do I do that again lol 😆

It’s been more than 20 years sense I’ve done any oil painting. This is still a work in progress but it I’m kind of remembering how to use these paints 😂 #oilpainting #wildlifeartist #wildlifeart

You’re welcome!

A fellow artist’s elderly mother is facing a horrible situation. They are also open to commissions. If you can’t donate or spend money, sharing helps too.

With Mother’s Day coming up I wanted to celebrate with these 2 cute dragons. #fantasyart #fantasyartist #dragon #illustration

That’s and insult to frogs 😂

Thank you ☺️

Red eyed tree frog fairy. These metallic watercolors are so hard to photograph or scan. But lobe the way they shine ✨

I love him! I would love him to serve me a cup of tea ☕️

The lighting is gorgeous

I forgot how much I love oil pastels. Getting back into different art mediums after so many years of burn out has been amazing. I don’t want to sound cheesy but I feel blessed in some ways to have the chance to work great companies like Meeden. #oilpastels #meedenart #dragons #fantasyartist #pastels

Love the design!

Aww thank you ☺️ *hugs*

Hello #PortfolioDay
My name is Nina Bolen and I'm a fantasy and wildlife illustrator who loves to create whimsical art and pet portraits. I work in lots of medias like digit, watercolor, acrylic and colored pencil.

Thanks! Yeah might be Amazon-Tok soon because Bezos put in a bid to buy it.

🤣

This video got reported on TikTok so that’s fun. Guess some people are super triggered by a painting of a flag. Anyway #freepalestine #fantasyartist #dragonart

Thanks! 😊

It’s currently on preorder now. It’s on a boat on its way to me!
