Day 13/100
One step closer to painting with acrylics: Holbein’s Acrylagouache. Not actually gouache. Rather, a matte acrylic. Gotta watch those precious brushes because it dries very fast. But the ability to paint lights over darks and not have any of the dark layer underneath disrupted? That’s magic. I’m beginning to understand that with every different medium there are trade offs. The biggest trade off with Acrylagouache is the loss of the leftover paint that didn’t make it onto your piece. I don’t think there’s anyway to save it. So you have to be very careful about how much you squeeze out of the tube because this stuff is very high quality and it comes at a price. It’s a great lesson in letting go. .

One snarling animal was definitely not enough so I present to you, a very annoyed fox. I have such a clear vision for this piece! I’m coming out of a rocky state of mind so feeling sure about my work is feeling like such a blessing right now #gouacheillustration #traditionalpainting #holbeingouache #speedpaint #satisfyingvideo #foxpainting #animalartists #animalillustration #gouachepainting
Sometimes you take a break from life and paint your emotions into a snarling wolf while playing song albums that make you reminisce on your earlier years! That’s a thing right? Either way, I’m obsessed with this painting and I’m excited to share this video of its progress #animalpainting #acrylagouache #holbeingouache #gouacheillustration #speedpaint #satisfyingvideos #wolfs #wolfpainting #illustrationart #traditionalpainting
So much royalty in one painting, I don’t know how I managed it. Also these sunflowers are my best yet which I’m pretty proud of! Thank you to my commissioner for the opportunity to paint this duo #gouacheillustration #animalpainting #acrylagouache #holbeingouache #dogportrait #commissionsopen #traditionalportrait #traditionalartist #dogpainting
‘Still Unsatisfied’ - [SOLD Thank you✨] It’s no coincidence my profile picture is a fox, I absolutely love painting them! A lot of Slavic tales include the cunning mischievous fox and growing up reading them has fueled my admiration for these animals ♂️ If you too are a fox enthusiast, consider adopting this painting into your home! (❤️Link to buy is in my profile ❤️) #traditionalpainting #gouacheillustration #holbeingouache #illustrationartist #foxes #animalpainting #paintingforsale #animalportrait #animalartists #artstyle #gouacheartist
A clear blue sky and a friend to spend the day with, how much better can it get! Many thank yous to my commissioner for the making of this piece, these two pups are just the sweetest! #gouacheillustration #traditionalpainting #dogportrait #dogpainting #animaldrawing #dogcute #holbeingouache #illustrationartist #animalartists #petportrait
Thank you so much to my commissioner for the opportunity to paint this absolute angel!

Day 17/100 #golovewild
Many of us are aware that the Instagram algorithm is making us very sad. Some of my very best posts get very few likes and some random posts of mine go viral (at least compared to my other posts ).
.
.
.
I wish that I could see every post from the accounts that I follow and that everyone who follows me would see all of my posts. But this is something that we cannot control.
.
.

I read a post today by @cloversetlettering that @boundforyou.in added to her story and it got me thinking. What if we weren’t so selective with our double tapping? I look at my stats. I see the number of people that see my posts and the number of likes I get. What if we all decided simply to support all of the artists that we choose to follow by double tapping on all of their posts? Would that be a way to help artists out? It sure couldn’t hurt. (Edited to note: scrolling and double tapping really fast from one post to the next will make IG think you are a bot, so slow down if you have to and take the time to really look at the posts as you go.)
.
.
.
I don’t know if it would help but I’m going to make a huge effort to go crazy loving on all of the artistic posts that I see, whether or not I “feel” like it in that moment, simply because the art/craft community on IG is too important to me to let this dumb algorithm keep making everyone sad. This community exists for one main reason: to spread the love of art and the creative process. So can we all agree to go love wild?
.

P.s. I’m now officially one day ahead on the project, which will allow me to skip a day when I need to!
