Greyscale drawing of a Siamese cat lounging in the sun on top of a chair.

I haven't used charcoal since like high school but seal points are *begging* to be rendered in charcoal and Mab was looking so elegant. #siamese #cat #catart #artsky #traditionalart #artbyhumans #siamesecat #drawing

Made some flying toaster earrings! Colored pencil on shrink plastic topped with resin. #y2k #millenial #xennial #crafts

A person posted a quilt made by MY GRANDMA in a fb group I’m in. She made it in the 90’s for auction at our July 4th family reunion. The poster didn’t buy it and now I’m hoping to get someone to secure it for me. #goodwill #quilting #genealogy #thrifting www.reddit.com/r/indianapol...

Found this masterpiece in the bathroom at the Squirrel Hill Cafe yesterday and am still dying. #graffiti #bathroomgraffiti

The horse has a better moral compass than its rider. It is clear not okay with trampling a person even if pushed to do so.

Glad I took a photo before adding the tree. #gouache #traditionalart #painting #artsky

Finally found a way to display my tiny paintings. I wanted photo ledges but they don’t come in miniature. Scrabble tile racks are basically the same thing tho! Can paint these white and stick ‘em to the wall. 🙂 #gouache #traditionalart #painting #artsky

A photo of an open sketchbook placed on a wooden table and surrounded by acrylic markers and leaves for decoration. Both sketchbook pages feature summery landscapes with dappled light, the top one of a pathway in the forest, the bottom one of a pathway leading out of a forest towards grassy fields.

This tiny sketchbook rly is perfect for practicing composition & light without getting lost in details~

Sometimes I like having a bright underpainting. Gouache reactivates watermedia, obviously , so I’ve started reaching for my alcohol based markers. #painting #gouache #watercolor #artbyhumans #tiger #animalart #artsky #wip

Wanted to give the binder clips + split ring paint organizing a try. I don’t think I’ll end up using this to store paint, but I like it for the paint I’m currently using. #artist #gouache #traditionalart

I wanna draw sailor moon fanart now. Lol.

I can’t believe I’m seeing a Sailor Moon musical live in these United States. 💖 #sailormoon #sailormoonsuperlive

Where’s @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social when you need him? 😂

After like 20 years, I changed my handle from PatchesDraws to PatchesPaints. I don’t actually like drawing. But it’s necessary for me to paint. 🤷 #gouache #watercolor #drawing #painting #artwip #siamese

This is the most black I’ve ever used in a painting and I’m real impressed with the coverage of W&N ivory black. #gouache #art #painting #artwip #traditionalart #artbyhumans #phantomoftheopera

We love Uncle Bernie!

The Zorn(ish) palette is very different for me. I never use black but enjoyed it in this case. #dollyparton #portraitpainting #artsky #gouache #artbyhumans #traditionalart
