Kind of feels like an old sepia photo slowly getting converted to full color...

Y'all mind sharing your prelim washes/block-in phase("Layer 1") of your paintings? I wanna see how others approach it

First layers of a future Hornbill painting, many sketches and collecting too many references came before this.

I've reduced the Protoceratops a bit - I've got upcoming bills to pay! www.palaeoplushies.com I'm also open to (sensible) offers- just DM me if you'd like to make an offer and we can work something out!

New illustration in a new dog genetics article in Nature! I got to revisit my almost-old-stomping-grounds on the Anatolian plateau, Pinarbaşı (near-ish to Çatalhöyük where I used to work). I’ll share some details of the reconstruction soon. #SciArt 🐡 #archaeology 🏺

Ancient Antarctic Summer

Some foliage studies, oil paint on 6x9" canvas paper. Last one was from my photo, others were stock photos. I'm pretty happy with how that first one turned out, I definitely want to paint more landscapes.

Hey! I’m Meghan, a lifelong artist; painter and drawer. The deep ocean has my heart and I adore painting unusual critters you don’t usually hear about ❤️ I’m contracted for writing and illustrating a deep ocean children’s book releasing in 2026. I also use deep ocean images in my personal work.

Thank you everyone for 1,800 follows! I'll never stop thanking you for your support! Study of a Hyena, painted with oil on canvas. This piece sold at MFF late last year; I'm always grateful when an original finds a great home 😊

I absolutely love being a part of Every Day Original and hope to see them grow even more! They are a wonderful online gallery that promotes community, and offers artists the opportunity to be seen by a large number of collectors. If you don’t already follow or subscribe, definitely consider it!

QRP with your skull art.

Hi! Here’s my painting of an alpine meadow titled “Symbiosis” Crafted after observing a favorite meadow in the MHNF in OR. for a couple of seasons. Most of my pieces are a well researched labor of love. Because of AuDHD, I have to be REALLY compelled to follow through! #artsky #animalart #frogart

Reviving an old series of Wes Wilson-style posters for Cambrian weirdos! This is Hallucigenia, whose anatomy is so odd, it was originally reconstructed upside down and backwards. To pay homage to that, the art can be hung either way, even sideways if you just want the species name right-side up! 🐡🧪🎨

Like everyone else, I was pleasantly surprised by the news of spinosaurus mirabilis being officially named and described. And reading how we have material from multiple distinct specimens is amazing. I was not gonna slouch on the flood of new paleoart depicting it.

Sunrise Heron -Mountains & Eelgrass 7.75x10" Gouache on watercolor paper Took a self-indulgent art day yesterday to paint a heron. I recently got picked to be a nest cam monitor for a local great blue heron colony & I wanted to celebrate by painting one :) Prints up: www.inprnt.com/gallery/skid...

You all know I had to do it. Here is my reconstruction of the newly described Spinosaurus mirabilis, including its magnificent scimitar-shaped head crest #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs #spinosaurus

Some of the things I paint for a living. I paint house signs on a freelance basis for a lil company called Village Green Signs, which is run by one seriously hard working lady. #humanart

TBH, both Bluesky and Twitter are NOT art galleries; they are a continuous scroll where it is quite likely that the majority of your followers will not see what you post. Reposting is absolutely normal if we want to reach new followers. People should know that.

“The Escape” was juried into this year’s Infected By Art annual. A nice surprise!

After 54 years of being a professional artist and writer, I've written my first piece about art and the natural world. More to come... 🧪🌿🌎🪶🐡 #art #biology #biophilia #painting open.substack.com/pub/alwaysso...

Finished a new piece, "Welcome to my parlor..." Watercolor and gouache, 22"×19.5" Inspired by the discovery of a large yellow garden spider and her egg sac in my garden. Started this outside and then finished the details inside. Enjoy! #nature #spider #sciart #painting

Making my first post a picture of the painting I did for my friend of her late kitty, Arthur Morgan. One that I am super proud of. #art #acrylicart #catart #animalpainting #acrylicpainting

Observation 24x20in, 2014 In science, Observation leads the way. We may not always like what we see, particularly if it runs against our cherished beliefs, but if we accept it with humility, we will find ourselves better able to confront the problems we face. Prints: robrey.storenvy.com

Salad for lunch? A WIP of a bigger painting.

“Light of Day”, coloured pencil and oil pastel on cotton paper. I used a photo from last year as a reference, but yesterday I saw a different raccoon in the same tree — looking out at a very wintry landscape. #SciArt #WildlifeArt

‘Blyth’s Hornbills: Halmahera’ gouache, 49 x 20 cms The island of Halmahera lies between Borneo and New Guinea. Blyth’s Hornbills are dependent on large, mature trees so are vulnerable to deforestation caused by logging, mining and clearance for agriculture. #blythshornbill #hornbills #birdart
