Finished! First full oil painting. Mostly for exploration sake, to get a feel for the paint and because well, pigeons. I'll get brave and varnish her at somepoint.

Birthday gift for a friend <3

My commissions are open in case you are interested ! Check my bio :D

Polar bears aren't actually white - their fur is transparent. The hair of a polar bear looks white because the air spaces in each hair scatter light of all colors.

Geese at the winter lake, 8 x 10 in. Gouache on board. In the last photo, the painting is already varnished. I started this painting last winter, but couldn't finish it because of another work I had to do. When spring arrived, I wasn't particularly inspired to paint snow, so I decided to finish this painting next year in the winter. So here it is. It feels like the light in the painting suggests that Spring is just around the corner 🌱☀️🦆

Squirrel with a Cookie, 6x6, Acrylic Gouache on Panel, February 2023

I wanted to try using acrylic gouache on panel and painted this little guy 🌿🐿️🍪

My friend Minjoo once told me that we might have met each other in a previous life as a deer and a rabbit. The picture was so cute that I couldn’t help painting it as a gift when I visited her in Korea. ^^ --------------- Mon ami Minjoo m'a dit un jour que nous nous étions peut-être rencontrés dans une vie antérieure en tant que biche et lapin. L’image était tellement mignonne que je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de la lui peindre en cadeau lorsque je lui ai rendu visite en Corée. ^^ . #animallovers #naturelovers #natureart #nature #animal #wildlife #deer #doe #rabbit #cervidae #Animalportrait #animalpainting #painting #traditionnalpainting #watercolor #watercolorpainting #aquarellepainting #paintingartist #colordrawing #Natureartist #cute #friend #Friendship #artwork #illustration #art #drawing #traditionaldrawing #artlovers #traditionnalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cobp37wqXwf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Remembering that one time when I thought I'd paint animals.⁠ It was fun, maybe I'll do more of it one day.⁠ ⁠ #throwbackthursday #foxpainting #animalpainting #foxdrawing ⁠ #digitalart #painting #artsy #artoftheday #artwork #art #artist #digitalartist #artistsoninstagram #creative #instaart #artofinstagram #illustrations #instaartist #sketch https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1_-1LLPbR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I printed some new cards for the mini-gallery and also for Tampere Kuplii event that I'm attending in a couple of weeks. Will let you know when these are available on my online store as well. 😁

Yup, oils are harder to photograph for sure... any tips or tricks? 😂 Of course one of the first things I try to paint is a pigeon. Pigeons are lovely. And incredibly pretty birds, when you look beyond their reputation. First layer done, currently drying.
