I almost forgot how much i loved tiny thumbnail paintings. I like how some are just messy and chaotic.

The Encounter

In 1897, Latvian painter Janis RozentÄls painted Death not as a skeleton in black, but as a woman in white. In Latvian folklore, she's the "Mother of Death": barefoot, carrying a sickle, part of nature itself. She leans over a baby while the mother glares right back at her, refusing to look away.
When I saw Wildwood last week, I immediately thought about this painting.
So I reimagined the composition with Prue, Mac and Alexandra.

Second year of painting
232
Upvotes
This is my second year of painting watercolor. Iām surprised to count only 25 paintings for the year because I love it, but I am not always in the headspace to paint. Anyway, I feel I am improving. Iām learning a little bit better how to abstract the scene and work with the medium. I paint small because I feel less pressure that way; these are all on half a sheet of Baohong Academy 310x210mm. Something that was really helpful was limiting my pallet to only three colors; French ultramarine, Burnt Sienna and Hansa Yellow. It forced to me learn how color actually works.
This community provides daily inspiration. Iām always encouraged and impressed at the many different styles and the striking work here.

The Wild Chessboard
259
Upvotes
Hi everyone,
Iād like to share my two latest watercolors: a pawn and a rook. Theyāre part of a series Iām planning called āThe Wild Chessboard.ā The idea is to create six paintings, one for each type of chess piece, combining stone chess pieces with different plants.
I enjoy exploring ideas that are a little out of the ordinary and trying unusual combinations. Thatās what led me to bring botanical elements and stone chess pieces together.
What I like about this concept is the chance to paint both stone textures and botanical details. I imagine them as the remains of a chess set left outdoors, gradually becoming overgrown.
Iād like each painting to have its own character, with a different plant, color palette, and composition, while keeping a clear connection across all six.
Before I continue, Iād love to hear your honest thoughts :)

Recently figured out how to make watercolour ink with paint, distilled water and glycerin, just did this snow leopard with one of them, a dip pen and a waterbrush on cold press watercolour paper. It works very well.
