I shouldn’t be surprised that I have more blue and green paints, colored pencils, and water soluble crayons than any other colors. 🎨: #gouache, #coloredpencil, neocolor II’s #art #painting #mixedmedia

A few, small (bookish) acts of rebellion & fuckery *prioritize books by marginalized authors (pre-order their books, it sends a message that this is what we want) *shop indie bookstores *celebrate the achievements of marginalized creators *read banned books *support library programming and services

Continuing to experiment with gouache, especially in mixed media sketches. I love how nicely colored pencil can layer with it. 🎨: #gouache, colored pencil, neocolor II #mixedmedia #painting #floral #art

The painting that made me like watercolors. Had never cared for them at all. Then one day while studying Sargent I came across Muddy Alligators and couldn't believe it was a watercolor painting. It was my laptop wallpaper for many years.

“You must be selective. First fix the characteristics - the essences of the subject - in the fewest possible words. Ruthlessly eliminate any color, line, value, texture, shape, size or direction that does not express the subject.” Edgar A. Whitney, 1891-1987 #watercolorpainting

The two print-out-and-make-your-own paper zines, 75 Wales to Draw More and Start to Draw Your Life, that I mentioned recently are also available as a single pdf. Download it here: static1.squarespace.com/static/5ae1e...

The cover of a zine. The cover is filled with a photo of the blue wall of an artist's studio. To the fore are three tins containing artist materials. The first, on the left is mostly obscured by a pale blue strip covered in white lettering, but it's just possible to make out some pen caps. In the middle tin, still partly obscured by the blue strip, contains a variety of brushes. The final tin is easily viewed and contains some some white plastic pens with coloured tips. The tips are of different shades of purple, green, orange, yellow, red, brown and blue.

In the top left of the image is a pink post-it with the title of the zine written in hand-drawn lettering on it. It reads, "Start to Draw Your Life". To the right of the post-it in the opposite upper corner of the image, some hand lettering reads "Now including the popular 75 Ways to Draw More". Along the bottom of the image there is a light blue strip containing white lettering that reads, "an eBook by Michael Nobbs. A quick guide to start you on a lifelong drawing journey. Go on, pick up a pen and some paper..."

Quick reminder that sketchbooks shouldn’t be page after page of finished pieces. Experimentation and play is important to growth - which will (and should!) result in ugly or unfinished pages. This was a quick sketch to overcome a creativity block last night. #mixedmediaart #sketching #painting
