#WorldWatercolorMonth Finished these two over this past week. Seems like I've improved a bit since my first few attempts at misty/foggy forest scenes. These were inspired by #watercolor artist Figge. #EastCoastKin #ArtYear #painting #dailyart #landscape

#WorldWatercolorMonth #BlueSkyArtShow #sideways Decided on a fun abstract today - followed (sort of) a Karen Rice tutorial using mainly straight edged items like cards and rulers instead of brushes; as well as a pipette. #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #watercolor #painting #art #dailyart #abstractart

Watercolor abstract - delicate yet moody hues in pthalo green, quinacridone gold, and indigo with a hint of building-like structures - triptych style form

Recently found out that July is #WorldWatercolorMonth 😃 It's given me motivation to start painting again, so I've been doing a little bit each day this week. I attempted some YouTube tutorials on painting foggy forests... #JuliArty #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #watercolor #painting #art #dailyart #fade

Photo of watercolor practice paintings: two foggy forest scenes, with one in colors and the other in monotone. On the right hand side, there are a few smaller sized paintings of washes and abstract florals.

If you look closely, you'll see a #stamp - which, in a bit of shameless self-promotion, also happens to bear the image of one of my earlier lemon paintings. 😄 Oil on ACM (2022). This is "Lemon Fresh Sent". #Stilllife #OilPainting #Art #ArtShare #ArtYear #BlueSkyArt #MakersmARTch #MkrsmArtch

Oil painting by artist Lorn Curry of an air mail parcel that has been opened to reveal fresh lemons. On of them has been ribbon pealed.

For the day 6 theme of #MarchIntoLandscapes #quaint , the iconic Gold Hill, Shaftesbury, from a photo by Nick Fewings on Unsplash. I guess it's famous from an old UK bread advert? Did the lineart in #Procreate for this one, then printed onto #watercolor paper. #scape #landscape #painting #art

A watercolor painting of a sloping hill framed by rustic-looking buildings with staggered heights going down the hill with a soft background filled with open plains and agrees.

I don't have a pear themed painting for this last day of #FebruArty, but it looks like there's a pear shape somewhere in the neurographic background of this piece. 13 mini floral paintings combined into one piece 😁 #ArtYear #artwork #watercolor #neurographicart #botanicalart #arttherapy #florals

Watercolor and ink painting that has 13 circles of varying size with flowers inside them. The background has neurographic lines.

I love old cemetery statues. I have an entire wall of drawings of them. I find them peaceful and beautiful and enjoy how they connect us to the past. But today, they feel mournful as I grieve for the country I naively thought we'd always have. #FebruARTy #ArtYear #drawing #artchallenge

#ArtYear First attempt at a watercolor portrait. Not finished, but thinking I'd rather start a new one. Might need to switch to a smoother paper because this was so hard to paint 😭 #BlueSkyArtShow #FebruArty #art #painting #traditionalart #artwork #artist #monochrome #arttherapy

Alright, #FebruARTy, it's time for us to join up with the always beautiful #BlueSkyArtShow for this week's theme, #Monochrome. You don't have to keep it simply B/W either; monochrome can apply to any color!

A promotional graphic for "FebruArty 2025" featuring a flat-lay photograph of art supplies, including paintbrushes, colored pencils, paint tubes, and jars of pigment. The title "FebruArty 2025" is displayed in bold, bubbly blue text at the top. Below, pink text explains the event: "Any medium, any style, any way you like; new or old, soft or bold. A prompt every other day to create in your way." The image specifies that on odd days, FebruArty collaborates with other challenges. The prompt for February 15 is #BlueSkyArtShow, written in deep blue. The bottom credits the host, @whitneyyoh.bsky.social, and lists other collaborating challenges, including #ArtYear, #BlueSkyArtShow, and #SensoryArt.

A promotional graphic for the #BlueSkyArtShow event happening on Saturday, February 15, 2025. The background is a black-and-white photograph of an ancient stone circle in a grassy landscape. The text, in an elegant serif font, invites participants to post their best photos, drawings, paintings, poetry, microfiction, pottery, fiber arts, or anything in response to the theme #Monochrome (which they are encouraged to interpret broadly). Participants are instructed to hold their posts until Saturday, then unleash the FLOOD! The bottom of the image credits the photographer, Laura (@lgr525 on Bluesky).
