I decided to change the sculpture into me since I took reference photos of myself! Work in progress. 😄

First foray into doll-making. The scale is a little too big for a box I have picked out to hold the doll I want to make so this one will be a test bust, so I can try out painting and gluing on hair.

Varnishing is so satisfying 😊

Happy International Women's Day! 💪👩🌻 Shout out to my fellow female artists!

Painting progress. I started color glazing tonight. I realize I made the dirt way too yellow. Gotta fix that. I had reference photos but got caught up in what I thought it should look like. #wip #workinprogress #painting #oilglaze #artists

I painted a skull from a photo I saw. I did acrylic underpainting in black and white, then water-based oil glaze of colors on top. 💀🎨🔥 Skulls are fun and challenging to paint! I think I'll do more 😊

Whoops! I meant to post a video. Luna Moth in metallic watercolors!

Finally decided on painting a Luna Moth for the green frame I found thrifting 💚 #metallicwatercolor #lunamoth #greenart

Painting progress. I realized without an overhead sun there wouldn't be dappled sunlight (this is just before sunrise) so I changed the light spots to holes for the "screaming faces." Too obvious? #paintingprogress #wip #twopaths

Painting progress. Finished the underpainting, but want to make some adjustments. The path on the right looks like a river, and that's bothering me. #wip #painting #underpainting #grisaille

I bought this really heavy, ornate little frame at a thrift shop. What should I paint to go in it? What would be a good subject? 🤔💭🎨🖌

Oh hey! I guess it's #PortfolioDay 😄🎨🖼 I'm Lovina from Massachusetts, USA. I enjoy trying new mediums, and I'm constantly buying art supplies! 😆 I love to paint, draw, and do scratchboards. Just this week I've been making miniatures in clay!

Tonight's creation: miniature eggs! Eggscept I didn't count the spaces in the carton so it holds only 10 eggs, not a dozen! Oopsie! 😆 #miniatures #sculpey

Last night's creation: tiny succulent. When life sucks, make succulents. Sculpey clay #lifesucculents #succulents #miniatures #sculpey

Doing some self-work this morning. Writing my Morning Pages (ala #theartistsway) I keep seeing this phrase -- Give Yourself Grace. It's been on my mind lately. I've been feeling down lately with many things weighing on my mind, and I realize I need to give myself Grace -- to fail, to mourn.

Thanks for 100 follows! 🎨🖌💜🥰

Trying Sculpey tonight for the first time! I like the level of focus it requires. 😊 I made miniature s'mores! 😋🍫 #sculpey #miniatures #miniaturefood #miniaturesculpture

Another older sketch. Hands have historically been a struggle to draw, and now my hands are struggling TO draw. Go figure! Got a referral to a hand specialist today. I suppose nearly 20 years of daily computer work has not been good for me. I want to be able to paint and draw without discomfort.

Sharing on older sketch from a few years ago. #sketchbook #pencilsketch #drawing

Painting progress! 🎨🖌 Tonight I sketched out my scene on a large canvas and started the acrylic underpainting. The smaller test painting is the reference! I didn't finish coloring it. I'm just going right for the larger one. #underpainting #wip #workinprogress #artist #paintersofbluesky

First drawing of 2025! And it's my birthday! 😊 🌈🦄💜 I'm celebrating by going antiquing with my husband then pizza with my mom. 🛍🧸🍕

I love you sketches I love you half-rendered pieces I love you finished figures on a sketched out background I love you unshaded clothes on a shaded character I LOVE YOU POSTING ART THATS NOT "Done" IN A TRADITIONAL SENSE

*see someone knitting* ooh I wanna do that *see clay sculptures* ooh I wanna do that *see a cool drawing* ooh I wanna do that *see house renovation* ooh I wanna do that *see handmade plushies* ooh I wanna do that *see makeup art* ooh I wanna do that *see wood carving* ooh I wanna-

Time to post this again as we enter the seasonal temporal blind spot.

Wrist pain is preventing me from making art. Any tips? It's likely caused by computer and phone use 😢🎨 I just want to make art!!

QRP with the piece you're proudest of for 2024! For me it's my poster design for the Woodstock Fair which was chosen out of hundreds of submissions. 😊 It was a real honor, especially since I've gone to the Fair every year of my life since I was a kid! 🥰

True luxury is found in the simplest moments.

So this year I tried linocut for the first time since high school (I was class of 1996 so you do the math. Lol) I've been obsessed with Death's Head Moths recently. I made a limited edition of 30 prints and sold out at my first street Fair in 20 years! 2024 has been a year of firsts! #linocut

New to painting with oils (water-based), I now realize that adding too much oil means you have days to stare at your mistakes while the paint is drying. 😆 I just want to get back to painting! Also why did I think stormy skies are dark blue? 🤔 Note to self: look up reference pics!

#qrp Quote with your Green Art!

I don’t want to be an inspiration, I want to pursue my own little weirdo dreams with such vigor and passion that it confuses and disgusts people

Share your 4 Favorite VILLAINS. #Villians I love me a good villain 😍

#artshare! This year I am proud of trying different mediums, continuing to create, and making connections with people, some of which turned into commissions for repeat customers. ✨️😊🎨

Did this small value study today as a test for a larger painting. First time trying the grisaille method, underpainting acyrlic grey tones to then glaze over with oil color. 🙂🎨 #wip #grisaille #painting #underpainting #artist #twopaths #yourchoice

Show me your #wip! #wipitout 😄 I need to repaint that darn foreground lemon! 🫠🤪🥴 then I can finally call this one finished. This will be my second finished acrylic painting ever! 😊
