Woah there, forgot you existed again for a moment. Will I get better at posting here? Probably not. Anyway, new Lady Knight print for the monthly club is coming along nicely ⚔️ A4 watercolour #darkart #fantasyart #watercolour #ladyknight

A little portrait ACEO because these will always be one of my favourite things to draw. Painting faces like this just feels a bit like home. Watercolour ACEO! 2.5 x 3.5 inches. On eBay now! ebay.us/m/CHCnRk #aceo #miniatureart #expressionist #portraitpainting #sketch #watercolour

What's the ACEO community like on Bluesky? This is one of three that I have up at the moment that are ending this evening (1 hour!) and is probably my personal favourite of the bunch. Barn owl drawn in acrylic marker. 2.5 x 3.5 inches. #birdart #owls #acrylic #aceo #miniatureart

Some work in progress photos of a new mixed media painting. Watercolour & acrylic ink (so far) on paper. 'Forget Me Not' as a working title. The black really makes it. Although kind of like that bright corner... What do you think? #expressionistart #watercolour #portraitart 🪶

The first time I've ever tried carving text in lino and, sure it needs some cleaning up, but I am SO happy with how this print turned out. The concept, the finish. I love it. #darkart #linoprint #fantasyart

A little ACEO from yesterday! Painting small used to scare me because I thought I had to do fine details... Turns out that's completely unnecessary. Painted in watercolour & gouache. 2.5 x 3.5 inches! #mixedmediaart #sketch #aceo #miniatureart #painting #portraitart #expressionist

Painted / drew this owl to match a few I did last month. Really enjoying birds lately... Watercolour, promarker and micron pen mixed media. Let me know if you'd like the original before it goes on my shop update next Friday 🪶 #birdart #owls #mixedmediaart #sketch #painting

30 minutes of sketching for two of my original Patrons this evening. They can never know what to expect, because I constantly change style and subject, so I hope they don't mind 😂 Watercolour portraits, forget me not and forsythia. #sketch #watercolourportrait #watercolorpainting #portraitart 🪶

I thoroughly enjoyed doing some watercolour and pen mixed media drawings last month. This is one of my favourites. Also unusual for me to use red for this much of a painting, but I love it. #owl #owlart #birdart #mixedmedia #watercolourpainting #pendrawing #birds #sketch 🪶

This painting is about feeling like your head is about to explode. It's called Mind Decay, and was painted at a time when I was experiencing a little relapse of the Big Sad ™️. I'm painting another skully painting at the moment, so wanted to reshare this one #watercolour #darkart #mentalhealth 🪶

That feeling when you finish an illustration you hate and can’t stop seeing all the flaws over and over again… then regret sending it and start thinking you’re the worst artist ever 🫠

A lot of trusting the process to be done on this one. Watercolour, acrylic ink and gouache self portrait. *Hopefully* will be part of a group exhibition. #workinprogress #paintingprocess #watercolorpainting #mixedmedia #selfportrait #expressionist 🪶

I don't normally do little sketches or anything before a bigger painting, because when they turn out like this I don't want to paint them bigger in case they don't turn out so good. Damn, I love this. Watercolour portrait & skull. #sketch #watercolourpainting #darkart #expressionistart

Lino purists look away. . . Did a test print on this, saw lots of chatter marks... Decided to keep them because it looks human in a world so quickly moving away from humanity. Really happy with how this looks ✨ #linoprint #fantasyart #weirdart #eyes #printmaking #stars 🪶

I really have been enjoying owls lately. (And a stray heron in there too). The two bigger ones are on their way to the US at the moment, the smaller ones are ACEOs up for auction until Saturday 🎉 #birds #birdart #owls #mixedmediaart #watercolour #pendrawing 🪶

Okay I'm obsessed with owls and pen drawings right now. This little guy is an ACEO that's now on my eBay, and he's my favourite so a little more expensive than the others (still £8... For original art). #watercolourpainting #mixedmedia #birdart #owls #sketch #aceo #fantasyart 🪶

This little dude is very haunted looking. Kind of tempted to make it into a card with a punny saying like 'have a hoot' or something silly like that. I also don't know that people would buy it. #watercolour #mixedmediaart #birdart #owls #sketch 🪶

The theme for my Feb print club was magic owls, but I'm a little behind on the originals for the couple of people who get them. This one is not particularly magical, but he is cute. Will be finished in pen #owl #birdart #watercolor #painting #sketch #mixedmediaart 🪶

A little original painting that's looking for a home! I painted this deer back in 2020....2021? Can't remember off the top of my head. It was one of three in a similar style, but both the others have homes now and this one is lonely! £20 including UK delivery if anyone would like it 😊

Painted this for my print club and may I just say I love her. I mean it's technically me, but whatever. The colours, the vibes, the petal wings? 😍 It's a bit more whimsical than usual but god I love her. #watercolourpainting #fantasyart #illustration #characterart #snailmail 🪶

How I imagined Vin from Mistborn. I think the contrast of her hair against the pale colours works really nicely, although part of me wishes I'd done some sort of background. Tempted to mock this up as a cover for my portfolio. #bookish #cosmere #watercolorportrait #fantasy #characterart 🪶

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant / Happy St David's Day! We've finally had some actual sun in Wales, and I've noticed a lot of daffodils popping up. I painted this portrait last year as spring sprung. I always intended to make it a floral portrait series..maybe it's time. #watercolourart #wales #flowers 🪶

Last night I released some new art for the first time in a while, this was one of the paintings. It's called Dream Softly, and is loosely inspired by The Apparition by Sleep Token, as well as fantasy, dark fairytales, and dreams. Watercolour on paper, 10x14 inches #weirdart #watercolor 🪶

Today on the easel 🎨 It's been a while since I've done this many 'personal' (ie. Not for commission or print club) paintings. Literally, months. I really enjoyed it, and it reminded me why I decided to give art a proper chance. I need more of this. #fantasyart #painting #weirdart #mixedmedia 🪶

WIP of another acrylic hand. This one is at an angle that I'm less comfortable painting, the palm of the hand has always felt...awkward? Acrylic on oil / acrylic paper, work in progress! This will be released with a couple of other pieces on Friday. #fantasyart #acrylicpainting #paintingprocess 🪶

The final (ish? Might make some changes) painting and the reference photo I took in my kitchen. Now that I'm looking I can see issues, but hey, it's a study. #acrylicpainting #fantasyart #wip #handpainting #referencephoto 🪶

The final transformation, the last judgement of souls and objects

#1

I'm very much a watercolour artist, but I'd rather just be an 'artist' and make art in whatever medium I fancy at a given time. Yesterday I gave acrylics a go (I've tried them twice in the last 6 years). Ngl, I did not trust the process. #paintingstudy #acrylicpainting #fantasyart #sketch 🪶

Help! I'm trying to decide which painting should be the first to get a redo... I want to rework them to create deeper stories for each of them. 1 - split angel/demon 2 - vampire 3 - wolf girl 4 - mushroom druid Which would you pick? #illustration #fantasyart #watercolour #characterart 🪶

This painting has grown on me over the years since I painted it (start of 2024...I think?). I really love painting in an (almost) monochromatic colour palette - usually grey or blue. 'Shattered' watercolour on paper 10x14 inches Originals & prints available! #portraitart #expressionist #fantasy 🪶

WIP Wednesday for this Sleep Token inspired piece. Currently I'm calling her 'The Mother' but that will change. I'm really enjoying just painting stuff a little more loose and weird again after spending so long lost in commissions. #watercolourpainting #portraitart #weirdart #wip #expressionist 🪶

I have been pitifully bad at actually practicing drawing over the last 1...2...3 years? I've been so focused on making 'finished' art that I've missed out on creating and improving. So now I have a whole sketchbook just for figure drawing and practicing etc. #sketchbook #drawing #painting 🪶

A triptych I painted for the soft-cover edition of "The Book of Augurs". I painted these last year while I was going through a little digital painting renascence. Always nice to break away from the brush and ink every now and then. Out now. Order it at my shop via the link in bio or down below

It's Friday the 13th! Here are some of the darker / spookier paintings I've made over the last few years. Definitely more to come, but how to balance that with the light and whimsical stuff that I paint the rest of the time... #darkart #illustration #watercolorpainting 🪶

A small hand study in preparation for some bigger works. I'm really enjoying using acrylic ink for backgrounds lately - there's something incredibly satisfying about not having to layer like with watercolour to get that saturation. #fantasyart #sketchbook #mixedmedia #painting #art 🪶

Always sad when the paint dries and it's not as vibrant as it was, but I'm really happy with this sketch. It feels like the 'old' me. Considering making her into a bigger painting but I have a long to do list... Some kind of swamp witch. Watercolour on paper - 5x7 inches 💚🌿 #sketching #fantasy🪶

Sharing some older art that hasn't been seen much here since meta is ☠️ This is Duality - originally inspired by Alkaline by Sleep Token but it's definitely taken on a life of its own. Watercolour - 10x14 inches Lino print - A4 on mulberry paper #darkart #expressive #portraitart 🪶

Over Christmas I was suffering art block - honestly I still am. This raven in acrylic ink, watercolour, and gouache was a small break from that. #ravens #corvid #animalart #birdart #expressive #mixedmedia #painting

A dragon! A winter dragon specifically. I asked people to vote on this month's painting and it was my bad for giving people purple as an option when that made doing the whole winter thing mildly more difficult. This was painted for my print club! #dragons #fantasyart #mixedmedia #watercolor #art

Some sketches from the last few weeks. I was working with a vampire / raven theme so stuck with the red and black palette. I can't tell which of the portraits is my favourite - I love the swirls of the second one but I love the expression of the first. #art #sketching #fantasyart #expressionist

10 minute dragon sketch I've wanted to paint dragons for a while, but have a bit of art block rn, so I just did a little sketch to get the feel for them. #fantasyart #watercolour #dragons #darkfantasy #sketchbook #sketch

Quick little kingfisher sketch for a Patron. This is 5x5 inches and took around 15 minutes all in. #watercoloursketch #sketch #animalart #wildlife #kingfisher #watercolourpainting

It's been a long time since I've shared new originals. These three are all rather different, but I think that reflects my style quite accurately. They're a mix of expressionist watercolour, dark fantasy, tarot inspired - and there's plenty more to come. #darkart #watercolorart #fantasyart #painting

It's been a very long time since I posted here, but hey ho. Here are two 5 minute sketches I did recently. #sketchbook #sketching #mixedmedia #watercolorsketch #watercolor #pencilsketch

Oops, forgot this place existed again. Not for not liking it, just for life being busy. Here's my latest painting, called Welcome Home. It's about a journey to another world and embracing who you might become. Prints via Patreon. Mostly watercolour, some acrylic. #weirdart #fantasy #mixedmedia

I left this as it is because I don't want to ruin what is honestly (and I know I say this A LOT) one of my favourite sketches....ever? She's a 5x7 watercolour sketch for a Patron 🌿 #watercolor #painting #portraitart #watercolourpainting #sketch #sketchbook #expressionism

I finished this painting last week and today one of my best friends bought it 🎉 Sometimes I feel weird selling to friends or family, but then I think if they want to support me and love the art as much as anyone else who would buy it, why should I feel awkward?

Sharing this because I'm unlikely to get around to painting it anytime soon, so the digital sketch will have to do. I think I'd do it in gouache or acrylic, rather than my usual watercolour. #sleeptoken #sketch #vessel

I finished painting the daffodils 🌼 I opted to leave them very loose because I find flowers hard to paint and like how sketchy it looks. I'm glad I took the leap to paint the background black, too. #watercolor #art #wales #watercolourpainting #mixedmedia #expressionism
