I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the nature journaling course with Natural History Society at the Hancock Museum. Just getting to see their collection has been amazing. Mine is based on 16th century botanists William Turner & Leonard Fuchs, & Victorian illustrators Margaret Dickinson & Sarah Dickson.

I’m beginning a garden journal which will reflect the flowers and plants throughout the year, as reminder to me of the wonderful joy to come. #art #gardening #flowers #plants

Channeling my orange vibes today

I really enjoyed attending an art journaling course at @northeastnature_ the Natural History Museum in Newcastle today. I chose to do #fungi and there were some great artists there doing some fabulous work.

Rather pleased with this new painting. Foxglove #painting #art #watercolour

My new watercolour is developing nicely! Lots to do yet though #watercolour #art #painting

After finishing this painting I applied a wash over the whole thing, to calm it down and soften it. I wanted to fuse the petals into each other to make them softer. #watercolour #painting #art #flowers #flowerart

Feeling blue today

Finished this quite complex piece which I loved doing. I enjoyed creating the blooms in the paint which I wanted to give it an ethereal effect. #watercolour #painting #art

It felt cold in the studio today! I may be moving indoors soon. Today’s offering was tricky. The rose was the softest of peaches & so delicate. This is the enormous challenge of painting flowers. It’s very hard to mix the colour & even harder to model form whilst maintaining the delicate softness.

Watercolour Sunday 🎨🖌️🖼️

A few watercolours I’ve been doing. I’m just finding my feet with it all again really. Huge learning curve but good fun!

Sun Fly #art #insect #insectart #colour #pattern I’m enjoying doing these colourful series of drawings based on the fantastic insects I’ve spotted in my garden this year. I’m inspired by interior design, wallpaper patterns and colour swatches. As though an insect has flown into your posh living room

Unidentified skull. I painted this from a photo I took in a natural history museum but didn't record what it was. Does anyone know? Those fangs look huge! A dog or wolf perhaps? #skull #art

I came off X last year (with 8,000 followers) because Musk allowed all the trolls back on. Now Zuckerberg is doing the same on Facebook it might just be time for me to quit. Free speech my ass! These are not real people voicing their opinions, they r orchestrated political campaigns & disinformation

My offering for episode 1. The moment of discovery. The first light on a face for over a thousand years. Gives me goosebumps #drawingdiggingforbritain @richardosgood.bsky.social
