I keep worrying that if I don’t post new designs and develop new ideas, that your interest in what I’m making might fade away. But then I think that’s just my own shit. There are times for innovating, and there are times for mastering the pieces you’ve already designed...and there are times for showing up damn proud to have the incredible fortune of sending your creations off into the world again and again. Today is one of the latter times. Thank you @tieoneoncreative for capturing this moment.

We’re packing up the van to show my work at the MAINE ANTIQUES FESTIVAL beginning this Friday at noon and continuing through Saturday and Sunday! It is in tiny Union Maine near beautiful Camden and Rockport. I love doing this show just because I get to visit spectacular Maine! Hope to see you there! Google ‘Maine Antiques Festival’ for more information. Note the beautiful cut white flowers from my garden in the background. I saw and loved these very tall flowers all over Sicily earlier this month. When I came home to my garden at my new house, I found the garden full of them! Was a lovely surprise. #maineantiquesfestival #maineantiquedigest #maineantiques #marymaguireart #nauticalart #bird #birdart #ship #sailing

This is what peace feels like to me That’s why I’m drawn to the water...it silences everything else and you can really feel “away” listening to the waves. The mini green waters pictured here are from the aqua-green waters of a marshy body of water in Maine. There was seaweed popping up everywhere through the green near the shoreline. I’d like to paint that as well! . . . . . . #instawatercolor #landscapepainter #arts_helps #watercolordaily #watercolor_art #watercolourpaint #watercolorplanet #princetonbrushes #oceanartist #blickartmaterials #nauticalart #watercolor_guide #watercolor_blog #global_artist #brushpainting #marsh #paintwithashley #acquarello #acquerelli #watercolor_gallery #artistic_unity #ashleyprejolesart #findingartists_ #artist_publicity #mainebeaches #eastcoasttrail #eastcoastart

Hi, Jessica from @BrownPaperBunny here! This week, the sea is calling. So, I’m going to show you how to create a cute sea creature that you could use on a card, in your art journal, or frame and hang up at home. You’ll need @tombowusa Dual Brush Pens (I really love the colors in the new Landscape Palette 10-Pack), watercolor paper, a MONO Graph Mechanical Pencil, a Tombow Water Brush Pen, and MONO Drawing Pens. Can you guess what creature we’re going to draw? #tombowusa #tombow2019dt #brownpaperbunny #nauticalart⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #tombowdualbrushpens #tombowdualbrushpen #tombowmarkers #tombowbrushpen #dualbrushpen #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolour #watercolourpainting #dualbrushpen #dualbrushpens #brushpen #brushlettering #watercoloring #watercolorartist #watercolorist #watercolorsketch #watercolorpencil #watercolor_art #watercolors #tombowwatercolor #art #artistsoninstagram

Lots of people have asked recently about the ins and outs of carving fine detail. I’m not very good at explaining it, so I thought it might be easier to show it! I can’t zoom in much further than this or things start to go blurry, so I hope you can see at least some of what I’m doing... . General tips that work for me (though everyone’s different!): . - I carve very lightly on fine detail, returning to deepen/tidy marks as need be. Fine, smooth lines need a fairly shallow cutting angle; shorter, wider marks need a slightly steeper angle and a (gentle) flick of the wrist to finish by bringing the tool upwards again (you can see this in action when I do the tails of the fishes). . - as you can see here, I brace the tip of the blade against the index finger of my non-carving hand. This adds another element of control over where the blade does (and doesn’t!) go - my two hands work together to guide the direction of the cuts. Please note though - my finger is *never* in front of the blade!! That would be a terrible idea, resulting in lots of sliced fingers. I keep it to the side of the sharp bit, about 1cm up. . - Tiny tools are only part of the equation - more important is lots of practise with them! You can get fine marks even with larger tools, if you keep them sharp and handle them with a light, controlled touch. . - I almost exclusively use battleship grey lino (available in most art shops), although other people report good results for detail work with Japanese vinyl. For grey lino, make sure it’s fresh and flexible, not brittle (brittle lino crumbles and is much harder to carve). You can make it easier to carve by warming it slightly with a hairdryer (though I never do this). . DJ Shadow on the radio.
