A close-up shot from behind and to the left, of an artist working on a detailed coloured pencil drawing of a robin on green paper. The artist is dressed in black and is wearing a wide-brimmed black hat, from beneath which her hair hangs in two plaits.

I will be at #SuttonBank Visitor Centre this weekend, alongside other lovely local makers, with a selection of cards & gifts, & working on some #drawings.

Why not come along and bag some unique #presents, or a treat for yourself, and also see how the magic happens! πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ„

Please share this long, rambling disjointed message far and wide so we can all stick it to the man and not let AI take over the creative world. ❀️

Beautiful, and very different from this morning in Thornton-le-Dale - which was snow-covered!

I highly recommend you follow @carlbovisnature.bsky.social to see lots more stunning photos of #birds - he's an amazing photographer.

Perhaps you should, it would be a great project that I for one would certainly follow. This one won't be much of a contender though, being next to a sewage works and industrial estate (funny the listing doesn't mention that...)

Line and wash painting of Bruiser the one-legged blue tit perched on a fence and with his right wing in the air. Paint has been blown beyond the ends of his splayed wing feathers for dramatic effect.

My fanaticism about #birds, and the fact that they are the subject of most of my artworks, is almost entirely down to you @carlbovisnature.bsky.social!
Here's a character your long-term followers will recognise. πŸ˜€

That superscript letter looks like an 'h' to me; was his name perhaps Jeremiah, but there wasn't space to write it in full?

An indoor stall setup featuring two large tables arrange in a corner. They are covered in deep blue cloths, and laid out upon them is an array of merchandise and cards featuring colourful artworks (mainly of birds and animals). Behind the tables sits a female artist working on a drawing. She wears a rainbow-coloured crocheted cardigan and her face is obscured by a black fabric hat.

Looking forward to spending the day demonstrating and selling my art at the makers' fair tomorrow at Sutton Bank National Park Centre. πŸ˜ƒ

It's always a fun day out with lovely people. Come and say hello, and support local producers: we're open from 10am - 5pm. ❀️

Multiple pieces of green paper, on a drawing board, with the bare outlines (comprised of four colours) of the blue tit depicted in the next image.

Coloured pencil drawing on green paper, depicting a blue tit perched on a small length of twig. The bird is facing the front, with its head turned to the left of the page. Due to the viewpoint, it's wings almost cannot be seen - just a small part peeks out on the right from behind the bird's 'shoulder'.

Phew! Just finished drawing the outlines for Saturday's Intro to Coloured Pencil Drawing workshop with @ledaleart.bsky.social. There are still places left; you can reserve yours here:

Glorious! I wish our local pub would do that; they currently have hanging baskets of artificial flowers. 😒

A stylised image of an owl created in paper collage. The owl's body feathers are formed from curved tile-like pieces in various shades and textures of blue and grey, its wings are peach coloured with contour lines. There are small ears in textured pink, bright yellow feet and beak, and large black and white eyes reminiscent of googly eyes.

Just finished my #owl #collage for an upcoming @ledaleart.bsky.social children's workshop. Rather pleased with how it's turned out. 😊

Tricky choice but I love the wren; it's striking because it's so unusual.
