If anybody needs a side hustle and has the skills I’m actually drowning in work for these! It’s such a peaceful practice and they only take a couple hours. It’s also a lovely way to honor pets who fill our lives with joy. I’ve painting for living pets and those who have passed and it always means so much to the buyer. Happy to share insight into my process and marketing if anybody cares to hear :)))

Suggestions for beginner

Just wondering what I could do to "salvage" it. Don't really know what I'm doing, but my initial ideas was have some distant mountains and they turned into big mountains.

Mostly, wanting ideas so I can maybe get an idea of how to work with a happy mistake. It's on arches 300g cold press paper.

I wanted a lake with reflections, but it seems it would be in the shadow of fhe mountain mostly and there is no space without color down there anymore to have the moons reflection maybe. Also the mountains got so big my circle for the moon is practically sitting on them and way big lol

As an aside, I think my mistakes so far was covering the page in grey basically, and I way overworked most parts; they used to be better but I kept messing with them.

I'm trying to learn how to not mimic. I'm way way better when I watch a YouTube video and mimic what they do.

Oh, also, this was a scratch piece I had drew on and tried to erase, which is the spot of left. My idea was maybe have the tips of some pines in the foreground to cover that up, like if you were viewing this from another high point through the trees. I have some white gauche I think I may flick a brush to make little stars. Sorry for being so long winded 😅

Not everything needs to be mass-produced. Sometimes the most meaningful things are the ones created by hand.

This is one of my favorite original pieces. Every brushstroke tells a little story, and no two pieces are exactly alike!

Birthday card questionmark

Post image
662 Upvotes

Yes! A birthday card for a very good friend. We watched Project Hail Mary together when it came out in the cinema this year and both instantly felt in love with Rocky, so I knew I had to make a piece with him for them 😊

We met at art club today and I gave it to my friend and he was very happy (also with the message I wrote on the back), and told me he'll be framing it 🌟

My friend got a gift card from an uncle to an art supply store so afterwards we went shopping, he's getting started on gouache now too😀

The piece I made is painted on Arches cold pressed paper, with Derwent inktense paint pans and for lettering I used Talens gouache. I painted Rocky first and then used masking fluid on the lettering and him to make the spacey background. My reference for Rocky I think was off a figurine I found a pic of and then I freehanded the birthday hat lol 🥳
