An acrylic painting of an unfurling rose flower.

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!

Photo of three mini canvases. Two are painted with flowers as the subject. One is blank and a paintbrush rests on it.

Working on my floral brushwork! twitch.tv/jamesbbarrow

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?

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)

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.

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

An acrylic painting of a large ocean wave. The wave is just starting to break into white foam, and a large sea creature can be seen swimming underwater through the curved surface of the wave.

Another of my 2024 acrylic paintings. I was inspired to paint this after a trip to a lovely coast where the waves were catching the sunlight.

An acrylic painting of a mossy branch. The scene has the cold feel of winter, but a band of warm light shines across the mossy branch, illuminating it and revealing rising seed heads poking up out of the thick moss.

One of my acrylic paintings from 2024. This was based on a photo I took while exploring a Scottish woodland.

A digital artwork depicting a betta fish floating amongst freshwater foliage, waving in the water current. A brightly lit background reveals other fish swimming amongst the tall stems of water lily pads that gradually fade into the murky water as they get further back in the scene. The artwork has captions reading: "Commissions open. Featured artwork painted for mmmmmaggie. jamesbbarrow.com/commissions"

Did you know I am open for commissions?
This is one from last year, and I had a great time painting it!

Thank you Adam, I'm glad you enjoy them!

A digital painting of a spherical charm item from the video game Hollow Knight. The charm looks like a ball with curved spikey ridges encasing it. The charm appears to have emerged of exited some kind of tube appendage.

A digital painting of a scene from the video game Hollow Knight. This is a location in the area called Godhome. The player knight character stands at the edge of a pool of glowing liquid, with waterfalls cascading into it from above. Leafy bushes cover most of the environment but a few ornate stone structures can be seen behind them. A couple of characters who have a mummified appearance sit at the edges of the scene looking to the knight.

#HKAM25 Days 30, 31 - Charm, Godhome

The last of my Hollow Knight art month pieces. What an excellent art event it was! I had a great time with these all these pieces. Thanks to @kirstyarts.bsky.social for running this event once again!
