In the end I was not too happy with this but I still like the composition a lot… learning with every painting. #gouache #paintsky #artsky #painting #landscapepainting

my personal recommendation for artistic burnout is to assemble an odd handful of art supplies and just have fun with mark making. sometimes representational stuff is too much pressure.

Hey #PortfolioDay — I’m Madeleine, I’m 33, and I’m still figuring it out. This year, I’m working on making short comics; generally, I draw and paint a lot of nature, fantastical nature, and mysterious dwellings. I’ll have commissions open sometime this year.
