Is It Spring Yet Where You Live? I Don’t Mean By The Calendar, But Actual Wildflowers And Sunshine

I was playing with color palettes and environments a while back and I still love these colors together. I want to work on world building with my scenes and landscapes because it’s something I struggle with. In fact, I was looking through my work since last summer and I noticed a huge self improvement during and after Inktober last year. So I want to come up with or find a list of environmental prompts to help me improve this area as well. I signed up for @cheneviv Class101 too (starts next week) and I’m excited to learn something new. 🖤 #ursaink #femaleartist #colorpalette #colorpalletes #sarahcuthillartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXqajRs6a5/?igshid=19lxvxan39d7

One of our family stories is Krampus. You could say I’m a little obsessed. We also have Julbock. But no Santa. Who brings your holiday gifts? (Or beatings?)

I put some effort into a traditional watercolor portrait for the first time in at least a decade. It’s not my best work, but I enjoyed the process. I’m going to work on my watercolor skin tone building a bit more and watch some videos. Any YouTube recommendations for watercolor portraits specifically? ✨ #ursaink #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait #watercolor_painting #portraitart #femaleartist #womanartist #calaverascounty #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFcafiMbZm/?igshid=5dundagvn9cc

My first complete paint pour + gouche x glitter resin = experiment. I will have them up in my s h 💜p once a smooth out the edges. These were super fun to make so I plan to do more. ✨✨✨ #ursaink #cheetahprintwall #glitterresin #paintpouring #paintpouringart #paintpourart #paintpour #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartwork #mixedmediapainting #bluepurplepink (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK64wj_MZP9/?igshid=hamywp1yy799

I’m going to experiment today. I am painting the under layer with my pretty Japanese watercolors and then I’ll try doing a top layer with gouache. I have a new watercolor sketchbook that I want to fill with Ghibli landscape studies and Sailor Moon screenshots... because why not?! 💜 #ursaink #workinprogress #artworkinprogress #watercolorpainting #komorebiwatercolor #japanesewatercolor #gouchepainting #ghiblistudy #ghiblilandscape #ghibliscenery (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNfn_7FsWXf/?igshid=10un0qorsv6ww

New commission in progress. I’ll be using all those pretty greens in this one. 💚 #ursaink #wip #commissionart #wipart #wipartwork #workinprogress #artworkinprogress #doggosketch #sketching #lineartwork #lineart (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMqywV3MPDu/?igshid=1pw08otsbjfbq

Scroll for closeups! 👁👉 I have to get back into these marker warm-ups start my day. It’s great to just lay down some color in a sketchbook, thinking only about where shadows are, instead of fretting over a completed piece to start out the day. . 💜Follow @ursa.ink for more💜 #markersketch #markerartist #markerdrawing #copicmarkers #markerpen #ohuhumarkers #womanartist #sketchbookartist #markerdrawing #pensketch #pensketches #markerpainting #sketchbooktour #sketchmarker #markerillustration #illustrationartwork #illustrationsketch #sketchbook #ilovesketchmarker #illustrationdrawing #drawingdaily #morningritual #brightaesthetic (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYl8WYMZ0L/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pie! I think the world would be so much better with more pie.
