This Friday in Seattle - Haiku Comics art by five NW artists at the U District Art Walk. www.udistrictartwalk.org/hosts/univer... (This image by John Burgess)

Another vacation painting - we went to Mt. Rainier and it was pretty spectacular. Lots of wildflowers blooming.

Vacation paintings - Sheep Lake and woods near Packwood, WA. #pleinair

Mini paintings number 4 and 5, buildings from various references.

Recent plein air paintings - from Ronald Bog and a quick 20 minute sketch from the cemetery to test my painting setup. #pleinair

Mini painting #3 - from mapcrunch reference. #landscape #gouache

Tiny painting #2 in my 4 in x 4 in sketchbook. Sometimes I watch the explore.org cams for the landscape reference.

Paintings from sketching meetups in June and July.

A couple of paintings from vacation on the Wenatchee river. #pleinair #gouache

I feel like I’m constantly in a state of “getting back into making art” or trying to make it easier to sit down and make something, so I have been making tiny paintings in a tiny watercolor sketchbook - this one based off a reference from line-of-action.com

this kicks ass

I’m taking a haiku comics class, and we had an assignment to make a non-traditional haiku (not about seasons or nature, but about pop culture, supernatural creatures, fairy tales, etc.) Here’s mine: deep in the ocean she finds herself dreaming of the human world #haikucomic

Today it’s gray and raining but here’s a haiku comic about painting outside.

Painting from a forest-y bit of the city park, looking towards a sunny bit of lawn. It smelled really nice here, very woodsy. #pleinair #watercolor

I went to the beach to paint in the morning and saw a heron. I’m not a morning person at all, but sometimes going out early is worth it. #pleinair

I’ve been going outside to paint recently. It’s really nice to just sit in a park for an hour and paint. It’s also fully engrossing. While I’m there, I’m not thinking about anything other than what’s in front of me and how to put paint on paper. #pleinair #watercolor

Happy #kidllitartpostcard day! I've been working on some new portfolio pieces, and this is the first in a series of 4. www.lizwongillustration.com

I am pretty excited that I didn’t overwork this landscape! I’m learning! #sketchbook #landscape #watercolor

I used to draw owls all the time in elementary school - that was one of the things I felt like I knew how to draw so I drew them on everything - but I haven’t drawn many as an adult. #kidlitart #sketchbook

Garden landscape painting practice. #sketchbook

Doing some 5 minute timed butterfly drawings as a warmup in my sketchbook today. Fast, fun, low pressure.

"Why are picture books texts so hard to sell?" Short answer: THEY'RE NOT! This is one of the biggest misconceptions about children's publishing. After saying this for the twelfth millionth time this week, I wrote a looong post about it: writingcommunity.ca/kidlit-confu... #kidlit #picturebook #pb

Some birds. #sketchbook

When you support a small business, you make a difference in the life of human beings! Here are some examples of the art i make & ship & sell myself, from my home to yours: shop.boygirlparty.com

A fabulous and timely post. What is said here is the approach I took in 2017, and one already taking now. Focus on your small corner of the world. You CAN make a positive impact.

I kind of like these seagulls #kidlitart

Waterfall in my sketchbook. I’ve been really into drawing sessions and this is from a replay of Art Hang Party on YouTube (www.youtube.com/@melissamart...) Sometimes I spend so long looking at reference photos I never actually paint anything, so it’s nice to have someone else choose the reference.

Duck and more ducks

I’ve been laying low for a while but here’s an aardvark #kidlitart

Possum and babies walking into town. #kidlitart

House finch for #birdtober2024 - no idea what day this was for but I know I’m way behind!

More birdtobers, I am definitely not doing them every day but I am proud that I managed to do more than one so far this month. #birdtober2024
