Oriental magpie (bird class assignment #3~)

Latest work.

Second assignment from the bird class I'm taking!

Taking a break from painting flowers... I signed up for a watercolor bird class and just finished my first assignment!

Back to practicing. (Reference photo from Pexels / Photographer: Jonas Kakaroto)

It's been a while! I was working on something big (lots of flowers...), but now I can finally do something else. (Reference photo from Pexels, Photographer: Jason Patrick).

"Doubt is the key to knowledge." As a matter of fact, I think self-doubt has made me a slightly better artist...though a miserable one!

The text is from a vintage recipe for "an unrivalled plum pudding". I find it strangely fitting because it took me 6-8 hours to paint this (I'm sloooow), and my art is usually seen by 12-14 persons (sufficient?), lol.

Another practice piece. Somehow I thought of dark chocolate and orange peels when I painted it, hence the background... (Reference photo from Pexels, photographer: Karolina Grabowska.)

Latest mood: Just stay alive! I recommend the song Amy AKA Spent Gladiator 1 by the Mountain Goats! I'm actually thinking of doing a bigger piece inspired by the lyrics. (Reference photo from Pexels, photographer: Marta Dzedyshko)

Back to practicing.

"Daybreak", watercolor on broken paper. I worked the paper so hard the original was a disaster, but digital tools saved the day. Honestly, I wish I felt as hopeful as my art sometimes!
