A series of watercolor paintings (by me) that features an uncut aquamarine (top, left) - an uncut jade (top, right) - a cut emerald (middle, left) - a cut Ruby (middle, middle) - an uncut topaz (middle, right) - uncut amethyst (bottom, left) and a cut diamond (bottom right)

These were painted with Watercolors and lined with a fineliner. I chose these as the are the line up of gemstones from Stardew Valley.

I fancied drawing some minerals and so I started drawing the gems from Stardew Valley :) #geology #sciart #sdv #stardewvalley #art #scientificillustration #gemstones #watercolor

My partner and I saw a barn owl on our morning commute. I feel so lucky and it was so beautiful so I drew one to commemorate.
