A British Red Cross branded promotional image, featuring a picture of the streamer JamesBBarrow holding a strange Jaffa cake sandwich. He is wearing a bee-onsie costume and smiling just before he takes a bite of it. The text in the image reads: "Supporting BritishRedCross. Quest for Kindness. Kind Train Raidathon"

Next Sunday (21st Sep at 1pm BST) I will be doing a charity stream to fundraise for the British Red Cross!
Join me then for art, fun shenanigans, and perhaps another jaffa cake surprise :)

Three pictures: a photo of a bee sleeping atop a pink flower, with a red spiky center, another picture of scraps of fabric, the largest picture is fabric representation of the bee photo: dark and light pink petals, green polka dot stem, bee with translucent wing, the background is green floral. The words/phrases: Sleepy Bee, KeonaChick, Awakening Spectacle, are in the lower left corner.

Art along from @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social this past week's prompt was Awakening Spectacle. Used only fabric scraps. Photo reference from a friend.

Want to learn how I paint flowers like this?
Join me live on my Twitch page in an hour and a half (2pm BST) when I’ll be hosting an hour long paint along session!
It’ll be like a Bob Ross episode, only with smaller subject matter and probably more chaotic instruction!

An acrylic painting of two rose buds unfurling in dappled morning light. One is more unfurled than the other, and is glowing brightly against a dark backdrop of leaves.

Do you ever pause to enjoy a flower unfurling in the morning light?

Another one bites the dust. Wow I’m getting sick and tired of this shit. #artsky

Painting a smol acrylic painting today twitch.tv/jamesbbarrow

An acrylic painting of a bright white rose. It is glowing, with half of it illuminated from behind by the light of the setting sun. The other is lit by the cool ambient light of the sky. It stands out starkly against a backdrop of dark leaves and stems.

For those who love seeing flowers glow in the setting sun.
I saw this Iceberg rose glowing in golden hour and could not resist painting its visage!

I changed the way I work a couple of months ago to follow this advice, it made a big difference and my productivity went up by miles.

(I don't know who made this image, if you do, let me know so they can be credited)

WEEK FIVE @alannamatty.bsky.social @mellielia.bsky.social @pharewings.bsky.social @artbysutherland.bsky.social @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social @billnash.com

Any thoughts on seeing work-in-progress art or unfinished pieces?

I never usually share them but if it's something that would be interesting to see let me know!

An acrylic painting of a fantasy woodland scene. A rocky pathway through lush foliage under a canopy of thick leaves leads the viewer of the painting over a log and past a lovely stream. Strong tree trunks rise out of the vegetation, standing out against a brightly lit background shining far in the distance in the gap between the floor and the treetop canopy.

Another of my 2024 acrylic paintings. This was painted after being inspired by some lovely woodland walks.

Acrylic on canvas board, 12 x 10 inches.

I’m so pleased that you’re enjoying them! Thank you for commissioning me :D

Big thanks to @JamesBBarrow for his amazing art work. My new emotes are damn good looking! twitch.tv/dracs_fant...

There might be :)

A digital artwork depicting a marshy swamp that stretches far into the misty horizon. A grassy shoreline dramatically cuts through the swamp. A field of dark and large spikey plants grow from the grassy land. Bright flowers bloom, standing above the harsh looking plants below them. The artwork has captions reading: "Commissions open. Featured artwork painted for snails_mail. jamesbbarrow.com/commissions"

One of my 2024 commissions. The dark plants were particularly fun to paint.

If you want one for yourself or perhaps as a gift for someone, you can find all the details here: jamesbbarrow.com/commissions
