Inktober but with cats...? Cattober! My friend @evebolt.bsky.social made the prompts and I'm happy to play along. Today's start is ABYSSinian. Have a fun cattober dear cat friends! #inktober #cattober #ink #sketch #cat #art

Painted pumpkins yesterday on stream using ink. I got this ink over 15 years ago... Yeah, my supplies become vintage all on their own now. But it worked wonderfully. On rough watercolor paper, using lots of wet in wet, layering carefully and now they look nice and bright and glowy. #art #ink

Yesterday I had a hangout on discord talking about pigments while I finished this monitor lizard. The green was mixed using a purple and yellow. Because I can and you can mix anything. #art #TraditionalArt #watercolor #sketchbook #animals

Some days are tough and Heribert feels with those who struggle. You are seen! And you are not alone. If you struggle, talk with a friend or seek professional help. You're worth it! #art #comic #fountainpen #mentalhealth

Inspired by the fountain pen community, here is another little Heribert comic. About how it's nice to share and friends are precious. #comic #heribert #fountainpen

Because Heribert is wholesome and apparently has a life of his own now, I'm glad to present you todays adventure of Heribert the wholesome dragon. It's a friendly reminder, that it's ok to be you, because you are precious and worthy. ko-fi.com/album/Advent... #fountainpen #comic #heribert

Painting light in a dark setting can be tricky... so we had a live tutorial on twitch last week painting a fire in a castle. It's edited into a video now: youtu.be/K78MuDeDHuo Enjoy! #art #TraditionalArt #WaterColor #artresource #painting

Days become cooler, Christmas treats are in the shops... autumn is close. Heribert has his own way to dealing with the cooler weather: by painting its beauty. Because every season has it's precious moments and they're worth to be cherished. #heribert #comic #mastoart #fountainpen

I'm so behind on life... Time slips and I don't know where it goes. Still... wanted to share with you a urban sketch I did on Saturday (How is it almost a week since?). Have a good day and don't forget to take a break! #art #traditionalart #watercolor #urbansketching #painting #artist

I'll have a live tutorial tomorrow on how to paint a light source in a dark setting. It was a question I answered once and I felt that I need to make it a thing that people can look up later too. www.twitch.tv/lanagoesart #art #painting #watercolor #artresource

New Color Study of PG50 Cobalt Teal/Cobalt Turquoise went life today. I show swatches, mixes and a monochromatic painting to see how the pigment behaves during painting. This usually shows all its properties better and... is fun for me. :D Enjoy! youtu.be/zRKEpAZtTS4 #art #artresource #pigments

Cobalt pigments and toxicity - we hear and read about it a lot. So I went down that rabbit hole and looked into it further while experimenting with the gorgeous PG50 Cobalt Turquoise. It's really worth reading! www.patreon.com/posts/color-... #art #pigment #pigmenttoxicity #pg50 #artresource

Painted this on Sunday... and finally got to scan it in. Lion monkey... love the golden sheen, but feel I messed up a bit. There's for sure room for improvement there. Watercolor on paper. #art #watercolor #traditionalart #sketch

Simple sketch to satisfy my brain, that enjoys this pencil way too much. It has this perfect feel of pencil lead on paper for me, that I enjoy. Simple things that create lots of fun are just the best. #art #artist #sketch

Even if Heribert, the dragon, enjoys his hoard, he knows how important it is to share... and that everyone's precious are different. So his dragon friends have very different hobbies to share. #art #comic #fountainpen

Heribert and I are both a bit overwhelmed by the awesome reactions and comments we received to yesterdays little comic. Didn't expect that to some random brain dump of me. Thanks to all! Heribert wanted to say thanks too! #art #comic #fountainpen

My brain woke me up with a little story of the dragon Heribert, who is very much in love with his art supplies and loves to draw. But sadly humans are a bit afraid... Inked with fountain pen, because... why not? #art #comic #fountainpen

A scribbly landscape, because my brain doesn't work with clean lines... Also I'm still getting to know the pen and ink it came with. Want to use it for sketching more in the future, but will switch out the ink once I've used up this cartridge. #art #sketching #landscape #fountainpen #ink

The countdown is on ⏳ My handmade watercolours are only available to preorder until 31st August. • 6 shades in tubes • Artist quality watercolour paints 👉 danbarrettartist.com – once they’re gone, they’re gone #handmadewatercolours #artistqualitypaints #professionalartists

Finished the monitor lizard - finally. It was a viewers request on stream and I managed to finish it yesterday. (Why is real life so busy???) I'm very into their scaly texture and will paint at least one more. #art #artist #traditionalart #watercolor #sketchbook

I just learned, that Winsor&Newton has a recycling program for old paints and markers. Which is what we need all over the world. So maybe it's worth looking into it and spread the word: www.winsornewton.com/en-ca/pages/... #art #pigments #paints #artist #paintdisposal

In case you don't know this, librarians are the best. (I am a librarian, but I am not talking about me.) I work in the field, and I know many wonderful, gracious librarians, who share knowledge because it makes them happy. Sharing. In this day and age? Can you believe it?

Time for another watercolor tutorial, right? A friend was struggling with mountains, which I find super relaxing. youtu.be/r_CekdZnPHI There is a full theory section, on distance, perspective and how it influences color theory. #art #watercolor #watercolortutorial #arttutorial #artist

New post on the Patreon of sunandcolors.com about the pigment PG7.

This is something for dedicated people! The real time tutorial of the frog is edited and live: youtu.be/5i2EvjJ0yfY #artist #art #watercolortutorial #paintingtutorial #frog #traditionalart #painting #animalart

My friend @dan-b-artist.bsky.social makes amazing watercolors by hand and is having a shop restock. He ships worldwide including EU and has some gems in his shop! Totally worth looking into! #handmadewatercolors #watercolors #pigments

Did a little hike on Saturday with my pup, we went to watch boars. During the rests I sketched some of the very artsy benches on the way. Hope you enjoy :) Be safe during the heat and drink water friends! #art #watercolor #hike #pleinair technically not #urbansketching #traditionalart #artist

Tomorrow I'll do another one live on twitch and everyone is free to join in and paint along. You only need basic supplies. We will also talk about perspective, distance and how those affect color theory. www.twitch.tv/lanagoesart #art #WaterColor #watercolour #artist #painting #traditionalart

This is Bear... black cats (or dogs) can be tricky to paint, but I enjoyed this one. His eyes are sooo beautiful and glowing, that I just had to put focus on them. #art #artist #traditionalart #watercolor #cats

A pug #watercolor #petportrait

"Paint them like the French girls" was the prompt and I feel I delivered... it's a quick loose portrait of precious Emmie, whom I painted before a few times already. #art #artist #watercolor #cats #TraditionalArt

Exploring PO107 in my quest to find a new red/orange to replace my discontinued favourite #watercolor #paint #artist #pigments youtu.be/zlv3m3KhBdw?...

Had a great discussion about what it means that a painting is "done" or "finished" with friends and shared my thoughts and experience in a video: youtu.be/CvOFZrSVeug #artist #watercolor

A friend asked me to "draw his cats like the French girls" as a reference to Titanic, and I'm so going to do that... Cats are so perfect for this! Later on twitch: www.twitch.tv/lanagoesart

I'm back with an announcement!! :3 I'll be part of Gallery IYN's upcoming show "Sensational Epoch" that starts this July 10! If you're in the area, please feel free to stop by and look at everyone's works (including mine ahaha!)!! www.gallery-iyn.com/post/sensati... :D #artshow

Had a viewer request yesterday from someone who likes the idea of a spider with finger for legs and my pup Dante. I think it turned out cute. But I can see how some don't enjoy the idea of the fingerspider. #watercolor #art #painting #TraditionalArt

The live tutorial yesterday was so fun! It was 5 hours in total but I'm soooooo insanely proud of everyone painting along, sharing their painted frogs with me. They look incredible and everyone did so well. We were nerdy, answered questions and softened so many edges in this painting! #art #artist
