Painted another tiny landscape in #watercolour Postage stamp for size reference. Weather currently is so hot, that layering and painting is tricky, but painting is still fun. Even more in tiny sizes. #art #artist #painting

Little landscape painting with a purple-orange sky and green grass with a flat lake surface. Next to it a postage stamp with sponge bob picture, which is the same size as the miniature painting next to it.

Little landscape I painted yesterday. It's not the right season, but I really like how it turned out. And it fits my current mood... #art #artist #landscape #watercolor #aquarell #watercolour

A little piece of paper with edges uneven from ripping the paper, two brushes next to it and another paper with squares of colors. On the paper is a painted landscape with white borders around. The landscape is painted in muted colors of brown and grey, an overcast sky, bare trees missing leaves, brown grass and a dark grey road leading nowhere.

This is the drawing from the latest video review, featuring these pretty neat colored pencils from Woomer! I also used their watercolors for a base layer under the pencils.

Tiger lilies have spots called papillae. There are hundreds of them on a single bloom. I painted every one. Voluntarily. No regrets. Watercolour on cold press. #tigerlily #botanicalwatercolour #floraldetail #watercolourpainting #ukartist

Detox Doodles! These animals are from my 100-day journey to swap scrolling for sketching: www.joyousjoyness.com/pages/detox-... This page is all about the ridiculous Shoebill Stork! They're so #odd ! #art #bird #sketch #DetoxDoodles #sciart #InkArt #BlueSkyArtShow

Sketchbook page of blue pen drawings of 3 Shoebill Cranes. The text Shoebill and 6/7/25 are written at the top. On the left is a tall Shoebill standing and looking at the viewer straight on. The text "Man in a bird suit?" is written on the right of the bird. The top left is a flying Shoebill. The bottom right is a closeup of a shoebill with its mouth open, and the word Muppet written above it's back.

Urban sketching has been fun last year and is equally fun this year too. I explored some new set ups for me last weekend and wrote a tiny post about them. Read it on my blog: lanagoesart.com/blog/2026/Ap... #watercolour #sketching #painting #usk #urbansketching #art #artist

Open sketchbook on a bench with a tiny palette next to it, a travel brush and a tissue with paint spots. The painting shows a man sitting on a bench, reading, surrounded by stone pillars and green plants climbing up those pillars. And on the left a stone bridge with decorations.

Open page of a small sketchbook that shows pencil drawings of a dog. Behind it is an empty glass and legs of people at a neighbor table, with the pup inbetween.

Open sketchbook with the sketch of a lady with short hair. She's seen from the back and the actual lady is seen sitting on the bench behind the sketchbook. She is drawn in markers: orange, turquoise and purple. But the image still appears consistent.

Open sketchbook on a table with another marker sketch in the same three colors. Showing a man from the side, who sits at a table. He probably just ate...

Quick morning sketch with pencil. I like the idea of capturing the world around me more often. Quick sketches of the things around me and I've been using this small sketchbooks for it. They're easy to take with me too. #art #sketching #drawing #pencil #artist

Open sketchbook on a wooden desk and a pencil next to it. On the white page is a simple drawing of a dog head from above looking very concerned.

Sometimes I just want simplicity... so I turned to simple - very simple - sketches with only 3 markers on the couch... this time inspired by a comment on Reddit. An unexpected love for onions. This is for you onion enjoyers! #onions #onion #sketch #sketching #artist #art #simplicity

Spread in a sketchbook showing notes on the left page saying "... without onions it would be a sad world to live in..." and beneath: "from a random reddit poster.

On the right side is a sketch in orange, turquoise and purple showing 2 yellow onions on turquoise ground and purple shading.

I feel we overthink how we approach art and to some extent life often-times. Yesterday on stream I sketched this one using three markers (orange, turquoise and purple), quickly and loosely. Art and life is about discovering new things. So please, play! #art #artist #watercolor #cat #cats

Watercolor like ink sketch in orange, turquoise and purple of an orange cat on a blanket, that looks up playfully.

Just finished two small paintings for a friend who passed away this week... it feels crazy and unreal. Take care of yourself people. #art #watercolour #artist #animalart

Painting of two dogs, German Shepherds, cuddled up on a couch with a bright pink underpainting shining through the layers of watercolor. The dogs are looking at you, curious, full of expectation.

I did a thing... I fell for the cute watercolour tins, because you know... it's nice when they don't all look the same. Paints are student grade at best, no pigment info... I painted a bookmark... Will paint more. The bookmark paper pad is wildly overpriced... Don't do as I do. #art #watercolour

Watercolor bookmark showing a muted blue sky, a landscape with a mountain, forest and lake and a big tree in the foreground with golden sunlit branches.

Finished this lovely Siamese kitty a while ago. It was a memorial piece for a dear friend and I hope she enjoys it. Painting memorial pieces is a part of art, but truly I believe they're so worth it and I hope the owners enjoy this little piece of memory in their home. #art #watercolor #cats

Little Wizbit is one of the pets that made it into this years Christmas pet portrait raffle - love the pose and the fluffyness. I know the owner is an artist too, who enjoys granulation and so I leaned into it for the fur and background a lot. #art #artist #traditionalart #watercolor #cats #cat

Watercolor painting of a cat, that is sitting in a tree with blue sky behind it and branches. The cat looks up, so we mostly see the nose and snout of the face and one ear, it's black and white, perfectly fluffy and wonderful. The color the fur is painted with separates into bluish, reddish and brownish in some areas giving the painting some texture.

This gorgeous old lady is Jude and it's a memorial portrait for this lovely pup. Jude lived with a friend and it was an honour to paint her sweet lovely face. Upon request she got a background full of pink flowers. #art #artist #dog #portrait #watercolor #painting #traditionalArt

Watercolor portrait of a dog with a white chest and brown face, it's very fluffy and the hairs go everywhere. The snout is slightly crooked, which makes her face the more lovely. In the background are many pink loose flowers.

And because I like to share with you guys... I've been out sketching a lot this weekend, Friday and Saturday both. Lovely places, lovely company, tiny palette and a few minutes to capture the scene. #art #urbansketching #usk #uskNürnberg #sketching #onlocation #traditionalart #watercolor

Open sketchbook on a table, a tiny palette above it and a cup with dark tea on the right with a tiny cookie placed next to the cup on a spoon. The sketch shows two people talking at a table in a restaurant setting.

It's been a while, but of course Heribert is excited for Christmas, baking cookies, writing friends and sending lots of cards too. Hope you're all excited too. For me, it's always a cozy time with colorful lights and cozy evenings. #art #comic #fountainpen #heribert

Image 2: A dragon is sitting at a table, with a brush in the paw and papers on the table. There is paint and one of the papers shows a painted tree.
Text: Painting and writing cards to friends...

Image 3: The dragon is outside wearing a scarf and envelopes in the paw, he comes to a little person waving at him, who waits with a horse carriage for the letters, because the dragon letters are too big for the mail box.
Text: And of course sending them with a special carriage because of the size. Heribert is clearly preparing for christmas.

Painted sweet wonderful Levi on stream yesterday. The fur is so tricky, but it was enjoyable once I figured out how to present him the best and create that soft shading to make him appear less flat. Beautiful pup. #art #artist #watercolors #traditionalArt #dogs #portrait

Portrait of a dog with green background, painted in watercolor and a signature on the bottom right. The dog is white with black markings and cute eyes, staring lovingly at you. Probably begging for a treat.

Went to an urban sketcher's meeting in Nürnberg on Sunday and it was really nice. Met awesome people, nerded about paints and sketched. Love to meet people with passions. #art #urbansketching #usk #traditionalart #watercolor #sketch

Photo of a sketch in front of the thing... it's a mirrorthat looks like a window. In front are rows of books. In the mirrorI can see a a staircase and paintings on the wall.

Sketch of plants and a roof that is partially covered with glass, muted and dirty and partially without, which allows a look at what's behind. There is a tree behind. Everything looks messy and rustic. The sketch looks messy, colors flow into each other.

Sketchbook and my sketching setup on a table in a cafe. It's a small sketchbook, a tiny palette, a pen and travel brushes. Simple... one sketch of the mirror is already done.

Both sketches of the day shown on a table. On the left a mirror, almost seeming like a window, showing the world behind it. On the right a messy urban setting with plants half hidden behind murky glass.

Comic drawn with a fountain pen in a small sketchbook. The fountain pen is next to it. A warm brown ink was used to draw it.

Text: Sometimes life gives us sad news and all feels tough.

Image 2: The dragon is hiding in his beds, with the blanket pulled up, only his eyes and ears are showing.
Text: It's ok to hide and rest for a while to recover.

Had a Eurasian pygmy owl against my window last week! It took 10 minutes to get to its senses, before it flew away unharmed. Of course I had to paint it, so did some watercolor studies in my Steamline sketchbook. I am still so chuffed about this special meeting, never seen these owls alive before!

Painted another viewer request yesterday - a wolf... to make it fun, I painted him swimming. I get why he looks not amused... water was probably cold. But he made it surely safely out the water. www.twitch.tv/lanagoesart/ #art #artist #traditionalart #animalart #watercolor

Watercolor painting of a wolf swimming, only the top of the wolf is visible, his fur orange to black is wet. He looks ahead, focused, the snout is white with a black nose. His silhouette mirrored in the water surface, broken by ripples in the water.

A little experiment with gouache on tinted paper... the tinted paper is not the experiment, but the kind of paper. It's mixed media and not really ideal for wet media, but it behaved well enough and I like the green hue a lot. #art #painting #traditionalart #gouache

gouache painting of a swallow on green paper, the painting is opaque and covers the green nicely, though it shows around the painted area a lot. The swallow sits on a railing made of a thick rope. The face is orange with a tiny beak and it's very fluffy.
