I am fortunate to be surrounded by hiking trails I sometimes walk around the lake in town but you are forced to talk to people and tell them how cute their dogs are and I really like to be really far out in nature -the serenity is good for the soul

"Vixen" on copper leaf got her extra glow up from a chunky wooden frame. I love the fanciful nature of the painting. #artsky #bskyart #art #Fox #vixen #portrait #painting #gilding

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕾𝖈𝖗𝖎𝖇𝖊 This piece was completed recently. Albeit in a couple of sittings. I blocked in all the base colours and lightly brushed in the overlayers. I hope you do like this. #skyart #bluesky #oils

𝕻𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖗𝖘𝖈𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖙 𝖙𝖔𝖜𝖓 𝖍𝖔𝖚𝖘𝖊 Many fond memories of this place. I had a few nights out in Pyg, and this place is one of my favourites in the city. Sketching like this empowers me, and I may even decide to sketch even more regularly ✍️ #skyart #bluesky #sketch

𝕮𝖔𝖑𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖘 𝖇𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖘 This day was a great day to see the new location of the dead zoo, which had moved location from Merrion Square. Drawing for 2 hours and then painting for 2 hours and done 👨🏻‍🎨🖼 #bluesky #skyart #watercolor

𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖒𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖔𝖈𝖐 I visited Portmarnock with Senior Chen. We walked along the coast, and I took this photo. This gave me an opportunity to draw a work bench. I am now posting videos of places I tag on social media. Happy days! #artsky #bluesky #watercolor

𝕮𝖔𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖕𝖙 𝖆𝖗𝖙 At the studio in Rathgar, to finish this piece in 3 sittings. I coated the front with a thin layer of varnish. It now hangs in my kitchen 👌 #skyart #bluesky #oils

𝕯𝖚𝖓𝖉𝖗𝖚𝖒 𝖘𝖈 The Dublin Urban Sketchers were out and about again. This time shopping. With the car show held here too. A place that I would frequent often. Hopefully, I will get tagged again on social media 🙏 #skyart #bluesky #watercolor

As an artist, I prefer a style where the viewer's awareness is drawn toward a specific direction. While the artwork itself exists solely within the frame, the scenery actually extends beyond it. I want to express that. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

𝕷𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖚𝖘𝖊 𝖈𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖒𝖆 A few weeks ago, the Dublin Urban Sketchers visited Smithfield. I ventured to Costa cafe with this cinema location in mind. So I did my sketch there ☕️ #bluesky #skyart #watercolor

Try Canada

Yes-- she looked so content. Agree!! Others with intense need to be photographed in Nature -while ignoring- Nature!

I was fascinated yesterday at Lake MORAINE watching a young girl sitting quietly sketching while everyone else was hiking, taking photos and running around -it was a very Zen moment

𝕸𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝕾𝖖𝖚𝖆𝖗𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖗𝖐 A location we went to. To sketch and observe and listen to nature. The park is getting updated with a new cafe and terrace. Nowadays, I am splitting the page in two. To get separate drawings. I do this as I used to work on a small scale at A5. #bluesky #skyart #watercolor

𝕯𝖚𝖓 𝕷𝖆𝖔𝖌𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖗𝖊 𝖋𝖚𝖓 𝖋𝖆𝖎𝖗 Once again, I was using my iPad tablet and using Pro Create. I may get Pro Create Dream soon as this enables me to animate my images more smoothly, me thinks. #bluesky #skyart #procreate

𝕮𝖞𝖇𝖊𝖗 𝕻𝖚𝖓𝖐 I moved onto an android/cyborg series. Yet, I am interested in pursuing a Renaissance series. This interests me more.. Learning of the old masters. #bluesky #skyart #chalkpastels

𝖂𝖆𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝖂𝖆𝖞𝖘 𝕯𝖚𝖇𝖑𝖎𝖓 Water way to go 🛥 #bluesky #skyart #watercolor

You’re welcome, thanks for the repost☺️

This looks really cool.

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕬𝖒𝖇𝖆𝖘𝖘𝖆𝖉𝖔𝖗 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖗𝖊 There was an arts festival on in Parnell Square. I was close by, so I did the sketch of the theatre, which I have not done before. Going with my usual style here. It is fun to see what unusual images emerge. #skyart #bluesky #watercolor

We are all Attempting to step Out of our Comfort Zones Especially relative to our art I wish everyone who tries Much success 🤙🏼🙌🏼🤙🏼

Go! Do! Teach! 🤙🏼 best of luck, Stephen 🤙🏼

𝕽𝖆𝖙𝖍𝖋𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖍𝖆𝖒 After hearing news of an arts epicentre coming to the castle side grounds. I have decided to try and teach art classes in Art Zone in this vicinity. Wish me the best of luck! #bluesky #skyart #watercolor

𝖂𝖆𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖋𝖔𝖗𝖉 I was out in Waterford

𝕬𝖓𝖉𝖗𝖊𝖜𝖘 𝖗𝖊𝖘𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖈𝖊 𝖈𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖗𝖊 The Dublin Urban Sketchers had an exhibition for the Docklands festival in the Bank of Ireland. We will exhibit as a follow-up in Andrew's resource centre. If you are in the area, do stop by for a gander 👀 #skyart #bluesky #watercolor

Vintage matchbox labels-inspired Arcane designs #illustration #Arcane (2/4)

𝕿𝖎𝖒𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖛𝖊 𝖈𝖆𝖋𝖊 I enjoyed painting in the negative style. Which I do not do very often. I drew this out in my mirror style. Was very pleased to have @savethehellfire post this painting on Instagram 😎 #skynews #bluesky #skyart #watercolor

𝕬 𝖉𝖆𝖞 𝖆𝖙 𝕳𝖔𝖜𝖙𝖍 My film documentary was made in Howth with Jonathan Fay. This painting is in that film. I added in a seagull and a crab cage. I did this to bring life into the painting. #skyart #bluesky #oils

𝕾𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖙 𝕸𝖆𝖗𝖞𝖘 𝖆𝖇𝖇𝖊𝖞 I did a guided tour of this place and may return for another tour in the future. It's a very historic place in which Dublin was originally built 1m under current ground level. #artsky #bluesky #chalkpastels

Ground control to major Tom #DB #fanart

Thanks but By the way, I often write posts about life in Korea and as a Bowie fan. Are you fine??

My English is not good enough.

No, it means following?

Nooo : Sorry .

HOW FOLLOED ME? SAW MY BOWIE FANARTS??

𝕻𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖊 𝖗𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖚𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖙 Recently posted and featured on my Instagram account, this restaurant is located across the way from me. Painted with wine 🍷 (Which was used as a grounding) #skyart #bluesky #watercolor

🎨 'Lotte' (1927) by Christian Schad #MagicRealism #Painting #Art #Portrait

By Walter Linsley Meegan, British, 1859–1944 "Scarborough by Moonlight", undated. Oil on Canvas, 37 × 26.5 cm. Private Collection. #ArtSky #Art #Painting

My latest swan, my biggest challenge is creating a realistic reflection.... Happy Saturday x #watercolour #reflection #wings #water #watercolor #swan #watercolourpainting #monochrome #splash #birds #wildlife #artist #painting #wildlifeartist #art

𝕾𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖙 𝕻𝖊𝖙𝖊𝖗'𝖘 𝕮𝖍𝖚𝖗𝖈𝖍 A fab location in the North city of Dublin. I did not make it to the market as I was too engrossed with this drawing on my tablet. But there are other days, are there not? #bluesky #skyart #procreate

𝕮𝖔𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕺𝖑𝖉 𝕭𝖆𝖜𝖓 This was a delightful location across from an iconic pub. This painting was posted on Instagram by a Tallaght social group. Stuff like this makes sketching all worth the while ✍️ #bluesky #skyart #watercolour

𝕹𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖓 I had made a trip to Navan after a day tour of Kells with the Contemporary Irish Art Society. The next day, I had went to two cafes to start and finish off this sketch. Never a wasted journey. #skyart #bluesky #watercolour

𝕿𝖊𝖊𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖜𝖍𝖎𝖘𝖐𝖊𝖞 𝖉𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖊𝖗𝖞 The whiskey tours have to be booked in advance. (Plus, I do not drink so early in the day) I HAVE MORALES!! Jk,jk. This location reminds me of the time that I did art classes a few doors down with the lovely Danila Anka 🖌 #bluesky #skyart #watercolor

𝕭𝖆𝖑𝖉𝖔𝖞𝖑𝖊 It was a lovely place just before Howth. A place where I now source my frames. And of course, my fellow artist Aran lives. The reason I digitalise my traditional paintings is to add 'omf' and boost posts on social media. SHUT UP! And let me do my thing🫵 #bluesky #skyart #watercolor

𝕻𝖆𝖌𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝖜𝖆𝖓𝖉𝖘 This was a tester piece with liquid glass paints. Sometimes, one colour can be very consistent. I will apply some water or turps to dilute the liquid next time. Or, as an alternative, use alcohol inks. Brilliant for base colours and blocking in a background. #bluesky #skyart

𝕾𝖎𝖗 𝕵𝖔𝖍𝖓 𝕭𝖊𝖙𝖏𝖊𝖒𝖆𝖓 Chalk pastels are a great way to make faster drawings and much easier to use than oils. I am only testing them out and will switch back to oils soon. #chalkpastels #bluesky #skyart

𝕱𝖔𝖓𝖉 𝖒𝖊𝖒𝖔𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖘 This piece is a commission for a friend from the United Arts Club. It is currently in the process of being framed out in Blue Ribbon in Baldoyle. Framing they say can take up to 3 weeks (with this particular place). #sky #bluesky #skyart #oils

𝕾𝖊𝖆 𝖒𝖔𝖓𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖗 A sketch of an octopus, which was then made into a collage on a traditional watercolor painting of O' Connell bridge. Enjoy and remember: look after yourselves
