I've been drawn to #shadows lately so I think there'll be more 'shadow work' in March.

I had to set aside my paint brush for weeks to take care of my terribly sick cat. And I've noticed how the lack of practice affected my skills lol. Back to square one.

Humeur de l'hiver

Dans les rues silence
Le bleu des neiges
Dans les yeux
Des miroirs...

Dans les ciels vides
La marรฉe des vents
Sur les plages minรฉrales
Des trottoirs...

Walden 7 no. 2

I don't know if it's the technique or the paper, but painting the shadows was kinda tricky...

Tipsy!

Madame Glass and Mr. Bottle struggled to stand straight after holding the wine for too long; while the ol' Lowball toppled over, dead drunk on whiskey.

Another #moody piece.

I often find myself getting exhausted before I can even finish, especially with more ambitious studies like this one. And I usually work on A5 or smaller, but still... ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Huge respect to artists with saint-like patience. I could never

I like how you framed them with the window. So cool!

Btw, this paper pills when I work with multiple layers. Baohong handles that way better. But for basic practice, Marie's will suffice.

Quiet introspection amidst the noise.

I did this quick study on my usual #watercolor paper (another Chinese brand called "Marie's") to compare with Baohong. I kinda like them equally, but Baohong feels more premium. Must be the texture.

Yes it's 100% cotton! ๐Ÿ˜ I think it's really good; the paper holds well and some say it's at par with Arches but I haven't tried that brand yet. I used the Baohong artist grade paper on this piece.

Oh yay, thanks! I originally wanted to keep them flat for a cutesy style, but since the other cat is white, I felt like adding shadows would look better.

Trying this #watercolor cotton paper from #Baohong ๐Ÿ˜€

Idk if it made a huge difference because this is a terrible piece, but I think the colors look better!

Has anyone tried Baohong? I don't think I can spend on Arches yet lol

(FYI, the other #cat looks dirty but he's supposed to be white...)

Exclusive: Despite new curbs, Elon Muskโ€™s Grok at times produces sexualized images - even when told subjects didnโ€™t consent Elon Muskโ€™s flagship artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people even when users explicitly warn that the subjects do not consent, Reuters has found.

New: Together with colleagues Iโ€™ve been testing Grok.

The chatbot still produces sexualized images โ€”

even when told the photos will be used for public humiliation.

A rare sighting.

While everyone was scrolling on their phones, he was the only one reading from a stack of papers.

I wish disconnecting digitally was so easy, bc I swear everyone's addicted.

Oh nice! Proof that patience indeed makes a huge difference. I'm new to watercolor and waiting for layers to dry is not my favorite lol

SCIENTIST: hi Jeff! Hereโ€™s our latest work. Itโ€™s a few years off but I think we can use this plasmid model as a jumping off point to clone you an animal crackers era Shirley Temple. How should we thank the foundation?

I was too scared to paint my cat because she might judge me.

I was right. She didn't like it.

I wanted to zone out and do a relaxing, repetitive artwork. So, I made this after seeing it on IG and boy was it far from relaxing.

I drew the shapes too small, it was actually tedious ๐Ÿ˜“

Sadly, the privileged don't really care until it happens to them. They'll post about it for clout and then move on

Thank you! I did that initially but when I switched to wet on dry, I completely forgot about it and piled the darker tones on top. I think I got impatient ๐Ÿ˜…
