I've kept track of every single UK bird I've managed to identify and I'd like to try to paint them all. These are the finches I have seen so far. Whilst this isn't my usual style, I'm having fun experimenting! - - - - - #illustration #ornithology #birdart #watercolour #sketchbook #sciart #birds

I fancied drawing some minerals and so I started drawing the gems from Stardew Valley :) #geology #sciart #sdv #stardewvalley #art #scientificillustration #gemstones #watercolor

A series of watercolor paintings (by me) that features an uncut aquamarine (top, left) - an uncut jade (top, right) - a cut emerald (middle, left) - a cut Ruby (middle, middle) - an uncut topaz (middle, right) - uncut amethyst (bottom, left) and a cut diamond (bottom right)

These were painted with Watercolors and lined with a fineliner. I chose these as the are the line up of gemstones from Stardew Valley.

This is a watercolor painting of a prismatic shard from Stardew Valley. It is an in game item that I painted in a scientific illustration style. I used watercolor and fineliners.

I felt like drawing a ladybird so I did. Sadly, I feel like my side dots are a little too low down but ah well :) #sciart #entomology #beetle #art #scientificillustration #ladybird
