  1. I started this sketchbook spread during my vacations this summer, and just finished painting it now. I used gouache and colouring pencils. 😊

    J'ai tracé ces deux dessins cet été pendant mes vacances, et je viens de finir de les peindre. J'ai utilisé la gouache et les crayons de couleur. 😊

  2. I like painting starry skies so much, this was bound to happen eventually.

    Milky Way Galaxy
    Gouache on cotton paper
    8” square

    I learned the Milky Way has way more than two arms. I painted five of them, but I think there might be a couple more if you look closely. I also learned the Milky Way is not as flat as I thought it was. I included one arm that looks like it’s doing its own thing, but it is actually supposed to be coming out of the page. This gigantic, spinning galaxy with all that matter flying around it, it makes sense that it wouldn’t all stay in a single plane with two perfectly formed arms. Right?

  3. Swan on Blue

    Another watercolor piece with a bit of gouache and color pencil! This was a joy of an experiment, and is also up for sale in my shop ^-^

  4. # A micro guide to wheatpaste

    **Making paste**

    You need 1 part flour to 4 parts water

    1. Use 1 of the 4 parts water to mix
    flour into a slurry. Stir vigorously
    2. Boil the rest of the water on medium or high heat
    3. Drizzle the flour slurry into the boiling water, whisking as you do
    4. Lower the heat to low and stir slowly, letting it cook for about 3 minutes
    5. Turn off the heat, let it cool until its cool enough to not melt plastic, and put in a jar or bottle

    **Application**

    You need the thing you want to paste, the wheatpaste, and an utensil to apply (roller, paintbrush, even an old sponge or rag should work)

    1. Coat the surface underneath (with round motions to fill crevices)
    2. Put paper on top stretching from the center out radially
    3. Coat with more wheatpaste on top, to help glue better and protect against rain

    ## FAQ

    * _"I don't know how to draw/paint! This is cool and all but I don't have anything to paste up!"_

    You can always swap designs with other artists and print those, artists love seeing their work reach afar. You can also just draw a little doodle you identify with and write a pseudonym or something.

    * _"Is this legal to do on the streets?"_

    On paper, in most places, not really; but in practice, almost always, the worst that can happen is people will scrape it off. Art tends to get a free pass here.

    * _"How long does wheatpaste last?"_

    About a couple days in the fridge. If you want to use it for longer, a splash of vinegar helps preserve it by warding off microbes. If it smells sour or fermented, discard it immediately! The microbes in contaminated wheatpaste **will** eat your material (and the starch binding it) inside out.

  5. I can't believe I've hit 100 followers! 🎉 Feeling very grateful and excited to feel a part of an online community of other creative minds! Here's a little gouache kitty who is personally not so thrilled about his birthday hat to celebrate 😂

  6. As a weekend project I made my own watercolor easel thing out of an acrylic sheet and two custom designed 3D printed legs that pop into manually drilled holes. It worked like a charm! (I can easily remove the legs to work flat when I want to.)

    So to break it in I did a gouache painting of a spacey nebula starfield.

    It was my first time using the Chinese Himi gouache set, and they seem pretty good for the price.

  9. My first painting of the year:

    "Celebration"

    Size: 12x9
    Arches cold pressed paper
    Painted with gouache

    This painting was inspired by the fireworks shows put on here locally between Thanksgiving and Christmas. They provide a bit of joy during the darkest part of the year, so it felt appropriate to begin with around New Year.

    Happy New Year, everyone!

  12. 🇨🇭 Flüelen as Seen from the North - a gouache by Johann Ludwig Bleuler from 1830. Johann Ludwig Bleuler (1792-1850) was one of the most prominent of the so-called "Schweizer Kleinmeister" (Swiss Little Masters) group. The Bleuler family ran a school for painters, founded by Johann Heinrich Bleuler, the Elder.
