Ahhh, she's finally here! 🍓 After months in the making, my very first, "Strawberry Daydream" plushies will debut for pre-order; March 4th, @12PM EST 🐈‍⬛I'm only making 100 of her to start. My painting she is based from (Right) vs Plushie (left) www.the-inner-observer.com #plushie #blackcat #gouache

Sometimes we really need to do a 180 and go back to what inspired us in the first place. 🥰 #beforeafter #watercolorartist #gouache

Am I falling behind or am I just living my best, most unconventional life? #chaseyourdreams #artist

In a world where companies are so hastily steering everyone towards AI, I cherish the people out here hand painting their own creations. "Liminal" is my latest watercolor painting on paper. #watercolor #surreal

"Liminal" "Liminal space," is defined as "a place or state of transition." I often feel as if I am stuck between the ghosts of my past and my future endeavors. Navigating these feelings led me to paint, "Liminal." #watercolor on paper

Love, life, death, & heartbreak are all intertwined. Happy #Valentine's Day. 💜 Featuring my #watercolor painting "Hope & Surrender."

I'm about 50% of the way completed on this new watercolor piece. I call it, "Liminal." #ghosts #watercolor #weirdart #darkart #surrealism

I'm so excited to announce my very first flow stars! These feature my "Octocentrism" design on both sides and are UV reactive! ✨️ #trippy #flowstar

If you hate Generative Al, the best way to fight back is to support real artists ✍️ My current #watercolor work in progress.

Studio vibes ✨️🌅 #watercolor

I have a big announcement to make; I'm moving to a new website! www.the-inner-observer.com All new drops, newsletter sign ups, etc will be there, including my next big drop shown below; Flow Stars! ✨ More deets below. Thank you to everyone who supported me over the years on my old s🌱te!

I love working on eyelash details in #watercolors. It might be my favorite part. New work in process...

Liminal. New #sketch for the basis of a new watercolor painting. This is an idea I've had for a long time; The ghosts of our past haunting us many years after something has occurred.. Sometimes we are in-between those memories in our minds. #pencil #lineart

There is too much talent trapped inside of poverty

Enough said.. #fuckice #artist #gouache

Feeling a little spicy this morning ~ This is my latest #watercolor painting I titled, Overconsumption" and some of my thoughts I had when making this new piece. Sound on 🔊#surrealism

"Overconsumption" I feel as if consuming too much media can lead to a general unhappiness in some people. I wanted to paint something that describes this, thus the "laugh reacts," and "angry reacts" mixed with the medication, going straight to the brain. #watercolor #mentalhealth #gouache #anxiety

Just now finishing up my latest watercolor.. #watercolor #mentalhealth

It's with great sadness that the legend Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead, has passed away. 😢 I just read of his passing moments ago.. I painted this piece depicting 1970's Bobby back in 2020 using watercolors. Rest in power, Bobby. 🌹💀 #bobweir #watercolors

It's all about dedication and time.. I've spent the better half of my life #drawing and #painting. Skills take time to develop and don't happen overnight. Just like with anything, you have to practice! In this video, you can see my art progress from childhood to age 30. #noai #glowup

2025 ~ What a year! I've been looking to do a recap; Please enjoy the process of my favorite paintings of 2025! #painting #gouache #newyear

I believe human made art will always prevail. #fuckai

This cosmic Octopus might be my favorite painting I made this year! Practice certainly equals improvement and you will see progress if you spend time doing something over and over again. 🥰 #gouache #Octopus #practice

If you’re ever feeling down or hard on yourself, just remember you never bought an NFT.

Hi everyone, my name is Kaitlyn and I'm a watercolor artist. 👋

All I want for Christmas is an “opt out of AI” button on everything.

Art vs. Artist 2025; Out with the old, in with the new. 🌱 Thank you to everyone who supported me this year!

Conceptual #photography was something I got into pretty heavily for a few years. I hope someday soon to revisit it again. #surreal

Work in progress on this new watercolor piece, "Overconsumption." I really missed working with #watercolors. #wip #darkart #mentalhealth

Quote with your art with horns 💗 "Faun" #Watercolor

Early progress on my new #watercolor #wip

"The Guardian" A lot of people say he reminds them of a khajiit from Skyrim #watercolors #ink #fantasyart

messing with photoshop brushes.

New toy! Can't wait to give acrylic gouache a try!

Even though I didn't have the best weekend at my first Comicon (I barely made my booth fee back) at least I got to meet a fellow artist that has been mutually following me for many years now. We did an art trade!

✨️

Trust the process. #watercolors #surrealism

New #gouache #sketchbook page featuring some of my favorite #fungi. ✨️🍄

My highschool art teacher, who I haven't seen in 11 years, bought three of my calendars this year and for some reason that makes me emotional. 🥺😭

I had someone message me that they fed my Strawberry kitty image into an AI generator to make a "cool effect," and another person fed my face into an AI generator without my permission. This is just straight up creepy. Why would you take the profile photo of someone you don't know and feed it to AI?

I love living in a world where nobody knows what is real and what isn't anymore.. #artist #watercolors #gouache

A couple of my watercolor self portraits vs. Their references ✨️ #watercolor #selfportrait

They say AI is killing #art. Here's my attempt to kill AI with real art... All of my work is painted traditionally on paper using #watercolors or #gouache.

"Every time a software tool adds an AI feature nobody asked for, a human logs off." -Bluesky

Time to take down AI, baby! All of my work takes me weeks, if not months to complete. I work traditionally on paper using #watercolors or #gouache. #supporthumanartists

Filling my sketchbook with fantastic fung-eyes using #gouache ✨️ In classic ROY G BIV fashion, I'm painting one of my other favorite hobbies. #fungi
