One of those mornings where you spend two hours painting and repainting the same section of a piece and you're still not sure if it's better than when you started.

It's #Portfolioday apparently! So why not join in. I'm a watercolourist based in the UK. My favourite genre is fantasy and folklore with a heavy leaning on creatures, but I have dabbled in other areas! www.emilyhare.co.uk/pages/portfo... #dragons #dragonart #creatureart #fantasyart #watercolour

#pleinairpril Let's go! Day 1! I forgot how hard painting outdoors is. Especially while fending a puppy off from drinking your paint water.

Put together a highlights video of the making of my latest print. Please feel free to ask any questions about the process!

I also got covid in the middle of that month and it was the sickest I've ever been, so a lot of these were painted from bed.

A few more pleinairpril studies from 2022! I used the challenge that year as a way to spend quiet time with and connect to the new home I'd moved into. So a little less open air than the usual plein air.

I think I'd like to do plein airpril again this year - I did it a couple of times in 2021 and 2022 and it was a lovely way of connecting to my neighbourhood and home. It might be a nice way to get into gouache painting practice again.

Printed the third and final layer and I'm so delighted by how this came out! It's a multiblock relief print with three colours.

Printed the first layer of these guys yesterday. I can't wait to see how the next colours go.

It is! I painted this one based on that drive.

The Quack of Dawn, personal #art. One of my most surreal ones, as I embrace the urge to swoosh and follow my own silly voice, wherever it may lead. Painted mainly from imagination by me, a human boy. Let's all be more quirky in our styles and complete ourselves, not compete among ourselves.

Over the last week I've been learning how to use a laser cutter and I am having a marvellous time.

A while ago I did some 20 brushstroke landscape studies. I used a splattery rough edged brush with lots of texture in it which gives a bit of an illusion of detail. These kinds of studies are great for learning to slow down with a scene and think about the composition before starting to paint

the reason I have so much shameless pride and love for my own work is very simple: I happen to think that spending a majority of my disposable time on something that makes me hate myself is stupid, art either makes me happy or I don't do it.
