Love that! I’m new to watercolor so definitely struggle with it. I also embroider but I did that for the last prompt so didn’t include it here 😄

Thanks 😁 I needed a smile today, and these dudes made me happy while working on them.

Aw thanks. They definitely made me smile the whole time I was working on them. Now I want to do all the different types of gourds!

Aw, thanks. Sometimes kids have the best ideas! It was a lot of fun to make.

My 11-year old came up with a fun and funky #kidlit character for a story she is writing. she asked me if I would draw it for her. It was such a fun concept I decided not only to draw but #crochet the little guy as well. Meet Cole. The cabbage octopus. 🐙 #watercolor #kidlitart #illustration

I love the texture you can get when you mix watercolor with Neocolor ii’s. I’m not a big tomato eater but these look yummy 😋 #kidlitart #watercolor #traditonalart #illustration

Always adding more. Anyone else constantly going back to a painting and adding just the smallest touches that probably only you will really notice?😂 #watercolor #kidlitart #traditionalart

Bullfrog painted with watercolor and watercolor pencils.

Christina Gorton @coffeecraftcode.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Yes! I have to do that as well. Leave it for a few days and then I am a bit more rational on what I should or shouldn’t add… or at that point I’ve moved on any way so I leave it be 😆

All of these scaly looking flowers I have been drawing made me think of dragon eggs. Sooo of course I had to draw a cute baby dragon sitting in a flower 😍 #cuteart #kidlitart #dragon #illustration

Spent the last few weeks painting armored animals… putting that knowledge to good use by now painting the ginger flowers we have in Costa Rica that remind me of scales/armor. #kidlitart #illustration #watercolor #art
