This Is One Of My Favorite Recent Pieces. I Have It As The Wallpaper On My Phone Right Now. We Get Snow

#MarchMeetTheMaker 💜 STYLE 🌙 I’ve never been much of a landscape artist or a very skilled cartoonist. I would say my love of drawing people and animals lands somewhere on the semi-realistic scale. I noticed that I don’t like to go that extra step into realistic or photorealistic art. I enjoy everyone else’s creativity with comic and cartoon art, but I tend to be hyper critical of my own efforts in that realm. 🌙 I can see the style difference in my art from others, but I can’t verbally pin point exactly what it is. I like to go for maybe more unnatural, saturated colors. I like bold sitting next to dark. And like so many artists, I LIVE FOR those bits of highlight and glow at the end of a piece. 🌙 This is a piece I am most proud of. It isn’t terribly popular in my shop, but that’s okay. The Archer has a perfect skin palette in my eyes. A little orange, a few hidden blue tones. 🌙 It is also important to me to use poses and develop characters that aren’t perfect “Instagram Girls”. I’ve always been the weird kid, so drawing imperfect people is a base desire for me. . #ursaink #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meetthemaker #meetthemakermarch #meettheartist #meettheartist2021 #femaleartist #womanownedbusiness #womanartist #weirdart #weirdoart #weirdosunite (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7iVGYMnGt/?igshid=1t4ritzbdo3i8

#MarchMeetTheMaker ✨ Hi guys! I’m excited to participate in @joannehawker ‘s prompt list this month. 💜 Today I wanted to share my brand with you. I am Sarah and I started Ursa Ink last summer. My logo is a fun, vibrant purple with a bear holding an edelweiß flower. It both represents my Alpine heritage and the connection of bears to my life. The name Ursa Ink comes from the art of ink itself and also a little tip of the hat to my passion for astronomy. 💜 I created Ursa Ink in response to an urge to better myself during quarantine. My “regular” day job of teaching art to grade school students came to a sudden halt last year which led into summer. I began my mission to create art for MYSELF for a change. Weird art that I love to make and love to enjoy. 💜 I always say that I am a very mercurial person. Consistency drives me crazy! I like to create lots of different things in lots of different genres. The one thing that never changes is my primal drive to MAKE stuff with my hands. It makes me who I am. I don’t think I could suffer through this world without art. #ursaink #meetthemakermarch #meetthemaker2021 #meetthemaker #meettheartist2021 #meettheartist #artaccount #femaleartist #femaleartists (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL5peQ3MXJx/?igshid=t8kuqs8ih5bj

#MarchMeetTheMaker ✨ FROM THE ARCHIVES 💜 Looking back through my archives I see a few digital paintings that I want to redraw. Not because they are bad, but because the learning curve for digital art is kind of steep. 💜 This particular piece would be muh better in color like this. Right now it is actually black and white. I would also add a few more feature lines around the nose. But otherwise, I still like this one very much. 💜 #ursaink @joannehawker #meetthemaker2021 #meettheartist #meettheartist2021 #fromthearchives #fromthearchive #sarahcuthillartist #marchmeetthemakerarchive #marchmakerchallenge (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfVlx5M_j2/?igshid=1pih4zqzc1cld

What is your favorite stone/gem? Rock junkies unite! Azurite brought to you by a fun collab art challenge with @dulce_somnium_art . I love azurite not only because of its deep color, but because it is ground up and used as a painting pigment. Plus, the hunk of azurite from my rock collection is so sparkly and raw. 💜Follow @ursa.ink for more! (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTfCciMDk8/?utm_medium=tumblr

#MarchMeetTheMaker ✨SMALL DETAIL 🐻 For me, the small details in each piece are everything. I love the very end when I can add little highlights here and there, showing where the light is hitting objects around it. 🐻 I take my time on those subtle details that, very likely, I am the only one that notices. Like the tire tread being a dusty, textured grey like it has just rolled over gravel. 🐻 Without these small details a piece would never feel finished. . #ursaink @joannehawker #MarchMeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheMaker #MeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheArtist #MeTheArtist2021 #SmallDetails #ArtAccount #femaleartist #artjournal #digitalartwork (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMP5JZNsw6r/?igshid=wt5kho6mont5
