Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Baked Goods! Bread, pasties, and pies! Do you have a favourite? 110
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Alba Bakery, an Italian Bakery in a small English town, focussed on hand made goods done with patience and care, I chose to design some of the brand identity for it, focusing on the hand crafted artisanal elements of the brand. I really enjoyed this, especially painting the baked goods! 120
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 20/03/2026For the Spring Equinox, I sat in my mum's garden and drew the view. You can see it at the top of this page just over some Stardew Valley fan art! It's been really nice listening to the bird song and seeing how the light changes and the movement of the leaves. A good way to spend the day. 💚 030
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 07/03/2026My sketchbook pages from Queerying The Armouries that I went to last week. The first spread was sketched live, with the paint added a little later. The second spread was collaged at the event, with the badges being drawn in the pub after, and the page at home based on references taken at the event 🏳️🌈 030
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 04/03/2026The Opening Act of Spring My latest piece inspired by a trip to pub last year on the first unequivocally nice day of the year, where it seems everyone came out to do the same thing. Bless the staff for having to put up with the sudden swell of people. Painted with gouache and gansai watercolours. 041
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 17/02/2026I Am Present One of the pieces of advice I got when I was doing therapy for CFS was to try engaging in mindfulness; and yeah, I'll be real, it didn't cure it. I didn't expect it to. But it helped, oh gosh it helped. This piece is a celebration of that, for me at least. #illustration 070
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Who's hungry? I went through a bunch of my photos and selected some fun images to draw. These include takeouts, cafe food, other wedding food, restaurant food, and home made food! Do you have a thing you've spotted on here that you want to eat? Mine is the dough balls on page one 🤤 000
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Little painting I did for myself in between some bigger projects. Based off a monument in a church I visited a couple of years ago. It was super fun working with all the greens and the textures on the grave. Done with a mixture of watercolours and pencil! 041
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Despite enjoying that winter landscape series, I am currently missing warmer weather. Drawn some interactions and scenes I've seen myself over the years, just the joy of being outside! Let me know which one if your favourite 😊 021
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Best Outfits of the Day from 2025! This was a fun little project to do, looking through some of the outfit selfies I did over the year and putting them all together! Which look is your favourite? Mine is the Spring Art Picnic, it just all went together so well! 010
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Part of my Apple Day sketchbook spread, I really liked this painting so I wanted to give it some focus. Might make this into a wee print one day 🍎 000
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 24/12/2025Seasons Greetings lovely followers! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays if they apply to you. Whatever the period of time is for you, may it have a moment of cosiness like my little guy asleep on a pile of my laundry in front of a radiator whilst it's snowing outside. Thank you for being here 🩵 010
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 13/12/2025After finishing a couple of major projects I have been in desperate need of doing some stuff for myself which is pretty chill, doing a sketchbook spread about a really lovely autumnal day back in October really hit the spot for me. I really like the bottom right one, it might become a print someday. 020
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Sharing a few of my faves from the Winter series, and you can purchase them in my shop, last day for postage before Christmas for the current P&P pricing is the 14th, with it going up a little before the 16th, with everything closing just after that. www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Beth... 031
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 08/12/2025I am sending off an original painting today! 🩵 It's always slightly bittersweet as it's something I created and worked on, but I am so happy to know it's going to a good owner and that they want to pay for the work I create. 152
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (15/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 Had to end on a snowy one! Really enjoyed creating this piece and seeing all the textures the watercolour makes. 086
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 26/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (14/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 Honestly, one of the views I will see most commonly in winter... okay not the bin bags but like, a common street, grey clouds, and barren trees I can still see its beauty though. 082
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (13/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 I also very much tried to not correct thing and let the paint do what it wanted when it left my brush, which has made it quite impressionistic I feel. Also gets across some of the sparseness in winter too. 030
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 23/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (12/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 Foggy and misty days are a staple of winter for me. It's always interesting to see the world through a slightly dreamy lens and how mysterious everything looks. Prints and original of this available soon! 060
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 20/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (11/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 One from the local park, celebrating that whilst the trees are bare, you get to see more of the beautiful skies that winter gives us. 090
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 17/11/2025I like to keep things professional on here but it's important to remember I am but a person and I too am somewhat flawed in places... 000
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (10/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 I've long wanted to do this image as a painting and I've finally done it! I love the sunsets of winter so much, I just wish we had more daylight. Final stretch now! 020
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (9/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 This is one I was super keen to do, featuring the snowdrops that give us the hope of spring, but the barren shapes of winter that frame everything so beautifully. Done with watercolour and gouache. 011
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (8/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 Bit different this one, went for just pencil to capture the gloominess of the cemetery in the snow. I used to just be a pencil artist so it was nice to go back to my roots a little with this one. 041
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (7/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 This image is from Harrogate, I went during a Christmas market and was enchanted by this view of the houses overlooking the various colours and shapes in the park. 052
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Winter Landscape Project (6/15) I hope this project can help you see the beauty in winter 🩵 We're back again with this project! A simpler one, based on the how the barren trees give us a better glimpse of the beautiful but brief sunsets with the early moon rising. Enjoy! 030
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 01/11/2025As November happens I tend to find the transition point of Autumn to Winter becomes a little depressing, so I wanted to start my Winter Series backup! Here are four of the images from earlier this year to whet your appetite, I'll be posting new ones every other day throughout November! 042
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 16/10/2025View Over The Valley. This painting is based off a view near me, naturally, loved working with the autumnal colours and creating a little space for two people and their dogs to live 🧡 040
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Big projects and commission work means I haven't been able to share much art lately, so have some recent Sketchbook Exploration. Pinterest People & Intriguing Japanese Cocktails. This is a nice colourful spread and some much needed gentleness amongst the bigger stuff. 010
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 22/09/2025My shop has been updated with 5 images from an old project to celebrate the new season! (Since I can only upload 4 I guess number 5 is a surprise for Bluesky users) They are printed on high quality paper and look just like the original paintings, support if you can! 🍂 www.etsy.com/shop/BethDoo... 131
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 31/08/2025A Study In My Sketchbook I am currently in the throws of a very big project with an ever looming deadline, so I wanted to share something from my sketchbook. Here, I am doing some studies from paintings by Pre-Raphaelite artist Frederic Leighton, probably one of my favourites from that movement. 010
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 11/08/2025Yesterday, I sat outside and painted some images based on photos friends have taken. The whole day was truly lovely, very much manifesting the life and feelings I want for myself. Hope you like them. 020
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 09/08/2025The Journey Back This is a piece I've been meaning to do for a while, based on long coach journeys back after being somewhere. I also let the acoustic version of "Smiling At Strangers On Trains" dictate the mood of this piece <3 Done with watercolours, gouache, and pencil crayons. 040
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 29/07/2025Dearly Beloved Rival An image created for the game Empire LRP, featuring my character and... well, her dearly beloved rival following their dreams at the cost of each other's. Created in the art style of two nations in the game, made using watercolour, gouache, pencil crayons, and mica pigments. 040
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Perspective Check This is a painting of the Koko Head Trail in Hawai'i, I was super inspired by all the shades of green, straight lines, and yeah, the sudden change in perspective - Based off a photo from my partner. Done with gouache paints. 040
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 01/07/2025We Keep Going Based off a photo an acquaintance of mine uploaded, artistically altered in places, but the original image inspired something 💜 Let's keep supporting each other and listening. 🩷🤍🩵🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 151
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 28/06/2025satellites* 🛰️🏳️🌈☄️ A painting I've done for Pride Month based off one of my favourite songs, satellites* by Enter Shikari. 042
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Been super busy with projects and big paintings, so I went back to basics with this one, as a treat. This is our neighbour's cat (who we call Moo Cat) looking up into some flowers opposite our house. I saw him doing it the other day and had an urge to make it into an illustration. 🌼🦋🌼 060
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Me when uploading a nice varied page in my sketchbook and then realising how much alt text I then have to write for it 😅 020
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Page in my Sketchbook This on the right hand side of the spread, and the whole sketchbook spread is just stuff I have saved and wanted to draw/paint over the years but never got around to doing. It was something I really needed 🥰 But yeah, really like this page, hoping you do too! 031
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Spring is almost over, but I will always love the colours it brings. Somewhat of an imagined house, somewhat based off a house I saw one time. I think altogether it contains many houses I've seen over the years . Done with watercolour, ink, and pencil crayons. 🩵🌸🩵 040
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 17/05/2025I went out of my comfort zone and did some live painting of Tango Leeds! I really enjoyed it 😀 160
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Sketchbook Spread! Right hand side is stuff I did live on the 6th and the left hand side is stuff I did between then and now. Celebrating the colours of spring! 🩷🌸🌷 050
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Latest Painting! It's based off a place near to where I live where there's just this straight up adorable house with a car park as its entrance and surrounded by industrial buildings. I've wanted to do this since 2021 and I finally decided to just go ahead and give it a go. Hope folk like! 0230
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Footage of me today when I went outside to paint, this was pretty idyllic not gonna lie. Was determined to carve out something lovely in this crapsack world. 050
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 03/05/2025I haven't shared a sketchbook spread in a while (mainly because they're a bother to photograph), but have one I finished today from my trip to Nottingham last month! 050
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 02/05/2025This morning I've been doing some video editing and discovered that when I was filming the final shots of the sketchbook page for Queering The Armouries, you can hear what I am listening to, which was "Remember Me - d4vd" (the track used in Arcane), quite profound given everything in the world. 150
Beth Dooner @bethdooner.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Painting based off a photo taken in Hawai'i featuring one of my partner's favourite places from her visit, done for her birthday! I really enjoyed working on this, it's been so long since I've done just a straight up landscape and it was really nice to work on an environment I am less used to. 071
