Hi! I hope you're having a great day.

I love your art deeply and love the painterly quality of it. Thus I've been wondering if you have any traditional art you can share? I've seen the watercolor nature paintings you did and loved them, as I also love working with water colors.

Have you every worked with oils, or gouache?

hi, thank you so much for this sweet message 🥺 you inspired me to do a study of a tulip i saw on my walk today! it had a bird cherry bloom inside of it and i found that incredibly charming.

a small watercolor study of a vivid red tulip bathed in bright afternoon sunlight, done on textured watercolor paper. the tulip's bloom is facing the viewer; its center is purple-black with a yellow and white outline, with the characteristic three-sided pistil in the middle. there is a tiny off-white withered bird cherry bloom resting on one of the petals. behind the tulip there is a suggestion of green leaves and ground.ALT

as for oils and gouache: when i work digitally i 100% employ the principles used in oil painting (and other types of opaque paints, as opposed to watercolors), but funnily enough i have always hated working with gouache, and i have never worked with oils! mostly because i was very young and very broke when i was a traditional painter, and oil painting is Expensive. or at least it seemed so at the time 😔 now that i’m considering it though, i think i might try oil painting in the future. could be fun to roll around in real paint!
