My shop has been updated with 5 images from an old project to celebrate the new season! (Since I can only upload 4 I guess number 5 is a surprise for Bluesky users) They are printed on high quality paper and look just like the original paintings, support if you can! 🍂 www.etsy.com/shop/BethDoo...

Replacing "transgender is like ferrari" with "transgender is like microwave" from now on after this great bit

Hugely deserved, he was incredible in the latest series of Severance

No matter how much you disliked the direction Game Of Thrones went or the ending, we can hopefully all agree with one thing... The opening still fucking slaps.

A Study In My Sketchbook I am currently in the throws of a very big project with an ever looming deadline, so I wanted to share something from my sketchbook. Here, I am doing some studies from paintings by Pre-Raphaelite artist Frederic Leighton, probably one of my favourites from that movement.

Yesterday, I sat outside and painted some images based on photos friends have taken. The whole day was truly lovely, very much manifesting the life and feelings I want for myself. Hope you like them.

The Journey Back This is a piece I've been meaning to do for a while, based on long coach journeys back after being somewhere. I also let the acoustic version of "Smiling At Strangers On Trains" dictate the mood of this piece <3 Done with watercolours, gouache, and pencil crayons.

Dearly Beloved Rival An image created for the game Empire LRP, featuring my character and... well, her dearly beloved rival following their dreams at the cost of each other's. Created in the art style of two nations in the game, made using watercolour, gouache, pencil crayons, and mica pigments.

An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below). If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.

Perspective Check This is a painting of the Koko Head Trail in Hawai'i, I was super inspired by all the shades of green, straight lines, and yeah, the sudden change in perspective - Based off a photo from my partner. Done with gouache paints.

We Keep Going Based off a photo an acquaintance of mine uploaded, artistically altered in places, but the original image inspired something 💜 Let's keep supporting each other and listening. 🩷🤍🩵🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

EHRC Consultation form filled in. Draining and demoralising in places, but done. I hope it's enough, because holy shit...

Working on a celestial themed image whilst listening to one of the most beautiful movie scores ever created. I am of course talking about the Kung Fu Panda 2 OST.

Some people can't work. You are just going to have to accept that. #TaxTheRich Universal Basic Income now.

Been super busy with projects and big paintings, so I went back to basics with this one, as a treat. This is our neighbour's cat (who we call Moo Cat) looking up into some flowers opposite our house. I saw him doing it the other day and had an urge to make it into an illustration. 🌼🦋🌼

Several exciting things happened yesterday: 👓 - My new glasses arrived and WOAH is this how regular folk see? ✨ - My Howl's Moving Castle style cardigan arrived (this is the only cardigan I will ever willingly wear) and I LOVE IT. 🥯 - The bagels that were bought for the house are PRE-SLICED!

New video up on my Youtube! Just under 22 minutes, featuring various trips and content from Autumn and Spring, my favourite seasons. youtu.be/TBDA7XmHR6o

Me when uploading a nice varied page in my sketchbook and then realising how much alt text I then have to write for it 😅

Page in my Sketchbook This on the right hand side of the spread, and the whole sketchbook spread is just stuff I have saved and wanted to draw/paint over the years but never got around to doing. It was something I really needed 🥰 But yeah, really like this page, hoping you do too!

Spring is almost over, but I will always love the colours it brings. Somewhat of an imagined house, somewhat based off a house I saw one time. I think altogether it contains many houses I've seen over the years . Done with watercolour, ink, and pencil crayons. 🩵🌸🩵

Me: Ahhhh yes, this artwork is finished, I can finally close all my reference tabs 🥰 Also me: .... Hmm... I might need these "person holding spaghetti" references at a later date though 🤔

Also, saw Sinners recently... phenomenal film. Immediately wanted to watch it again once it was done. Was also a film I was very grateful to see IN the cinema.

I went out of my comfort zone and did some live painting of Tango Leeds! I really enjoyed it 😀

Sketchbook Spread! Right hand side is stuff I did live on the 6th and the left hand side is stuff I did between then and now. Celebrating the colours of spring! 🩷🌸🌷

Latest Painting! It's based off a place near to where I live where there's just this straight up adorable house with a car park as its entrance and surrounded by industrial buildings. I've wanted to do this since 2021 and I finally decided to just go ahead and give it a go. Hope folk like!

Footage of me today when I went outside to paint, this was pretty idyllic not gonna lie. Was determined to carve out something lovely in this crapsack world.

I haven't shared a sketchbook spread in a while (mainly because they're a bother to photograph), but have one I finished today from my trip to Nottingham last month!

This morning I've been doing some video editing and discovered that when I was filming the final shots of the sketchbook page for Queering The Armouries, you can hear what I am listening to, which was "Remember Me - d4vd" (the track used in Arcane), quite profound given everything in the world.

Painting based off a photo taken in Hawai'i featuring one of my partner's favourite places from her visit, done for her birthday! I really enjoyed working on this, it's been so long since I've done just a straight up landscape and it was really nice to work on an environment I am less used to.

This putrid human is celebrating the decimation of trans rights in the UK. She’s gloating because she helped fund it. She funded it thru money she makes off Harry Potter. She will continue to do this. It’s her “mission”. Supporting Harry Potter harms and causes death in my community. Factually.

On what is a really difficult day, here are some resources for our trans friends and allies. Solidarity 💜 goodlawproject.org/resource/sup...

A painting inspired by when the warmth starts to trickle in spring and things just seem a little more romantic and bearable. ... Until the hay fever kicks in, but I'll take that over SAD any day! 🌸☕️🌸

Drawing is still a slow process at the moment, but sometimes I get the joy again 🩷 It's the Spring Equinox today, and I've managed to sit outside and ink some idea generation/references for a bigger piece I'd like to at some point. Honestly just doing it in a pink pen made a lovely difference.

Well, this will save me doing my usual **hits posts** "Argh for fuck's sake" **deletes and reuploads but this time with alt text** charade on here :P

Some people may know that I put my Winter Series on hiatus due to illness, well I'm here to announce that it's gonna REMAIN on hiatus until November, when I plan to release the remaining 10 images (which I also need to do, to be clear). Here's 4 of them, can you tell I really love working in blue?

**collapses after writing all that ALT Text and having to read my own dang handwriting**

The finished spread from Queer-ying The Museum at The Royal Armouries from the weekend. Sketched (and collaged) live over the event, painted afterwards! I learned so much and felt very seen in a lot of aspects. Hoping for more events like these 🏳️‍🌈

Oh hey, you can see me doing my live sketching just by the armoured feet! What was I sketching? Well, find out on my page 👀

I went out today! And painted in public! The staff were super nice and the food was especially yummy 😋

I so dislike AI being used for "creative inspiration". It makes me feel weird/old to say it but—having ideas yourself is magic. It's the process of filtering & interpreting the world, and letting your mind bloom from that. Basing ideas on AI slop instead is so deeply rubbish. Seek other inspiration.

As you can see, my housemate never tires of this joke :D

Today is my birthday and if you want to give me a gift, please repost my art 😊 #sciart

Winter Landscape Project (5/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 My first snow one! I've imposed a limit on how many I can do for this series, so enjoy this one. It was taken at my local park!

Boy is it hard to focus on work when the billionaires are speedrunning the end of the world.

the perfect place exists. its name is the rabbit hole and it is in kansas city, missouri

Winter Landscape Project (4/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 This is based off a trip to Scotland I took a few years ago, where thick mist rolled across the loch and created the most beautiful lighting. I had so many references to draw from for this! Just stunning.
