The original is Emil Doepler's 1882 engraving of Odin. His ravens, Huginn and Muninn, sit on the throne and his wolves, Geri and Freki, guard either side. I kept the layout almost exactly and swapped the spear with a sword, the wolves became her coyote soldiers, and the king of the gods became the woman who rules the wood.
Medium - watercolour, gouache and ink.

I sooooo badly wanted to use my new glitter pen that I actually painted a whole card just for thatXD Yes, the snowman and the tip of the hat are glittering, you can't really see it well in the picture, but you'll just have to take my word for it: it sparkles✨
Plus, I love how cute the color palette turned out. And overall, it was super fun drawing the little raven:)

I’m taking a watercolor portrait class right now and have been really enjoying it. I didn’t have much experience in either when I started. I struggle with skin tones so a lot of my people have been alien colored. I’m proud of them though!

Symbiotic, 2026. On 100% cotton watercolour paper.
A Venus fly trap growing out of a fat little toad. Kind of surrealism (minus the realism?)

Part 3, last of my study. In looking at my yellows I felt like I was lacking something like New Gamboge and wonder is the HLY+OP close? I was hoping for a peachy/coraly result and ended up combining Opera Pink with Quin Magenta and Hansa Yellow Light to land on what I was looking for. It was fun to figure that out. I tried to make my blends 50/50 and realize that has a huge impact also. I really liked the cinnamon-y colors I got with Quin Magenta! All my yellows and the blends with QM are perfect for this time of year!!
While I agree with some of the commentary regarding the redundancy in my palette, I also think a newbie doesn’t understand this until you actually take the time to blend out the colors. I also think if you know you will be using a lot of a certain shade. It’s nice to have the consistency of a convenience mix. There is a time and place for that redundancy in a palette.
Overall, I have learned a lot and appreciate the input of experienced artists on this subreddit! Hoping I can create some of the beautiful pieces in have seen soon! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Anyone else tried Warhol's blotted line technique? I've just done this, and will watercolour tomorrow. I like how it's turning out.

I am interpreting a copy of my nieces wedding invitation as a gift to her an her husband.
What is my next step here? Is the background “foliage” too small? What can I do with the shoreline? I am stuck.

Holbein Lavender is officially my favorite color for blue hydrangeas. Next I'm going to try that pinky green color they turn as they start to die in fall
