Almost finished - just one final wash to go! I had to change my edge tape over, so I took the opportunity to take this photo. I've learned a lot with this painting, and I've also ended up with something I think will look pretty lovely! .

The most relaxing part of a painting - removing the edging tape! There’s something very satisfying about seeing the final piece revealed 🍂

This month I began a project that I have been wanting to dive into all year. I had other commitments on my time, though, so I never really could. But here is the beginning of it, at long last! Squeezing in the last of my New Years resolutions just in time! .

On the easel this month - the beginnings of my first larger-scaled narrative painting. I started with a pencil sketch, a colour study, and some notes in my sketchbook. I find this sort of prep work really satisfying and enjoyable! .

Last month's postcards for my patreon! I had a lot of fun getting these printed and sent out to my patrons. There's something really satisfying about posting a stack of letters in the postbox. (You can find my patreon link in my bio - click on the link list! There's still time to join in before this month's postcards are printed and sent.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Almost to the end of #folktaleweek! I actually did the last two prompts as one piece, so I may skip posting a day and post on the last day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Day 04, Smoke . . . 'and all the light turned to smoke'⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The day I painted this was grey and lightless. I'm going to miss those kinds of days, once summer arrives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Day 03, Path . . . 'There was no path'.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun fact, I spilled my dirty paintwater over this one right at the end, so enjoy the patina of muddy paint-dirt. 🍂 Maybe it adds charm? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
