👏 I highly recommend this class! Laura is so much fun~ I had such a blast taking it and I felt more confident in my gouache painting afterwards.

Laura Bifano @bifanoland.bsky.social · 2h

Come along on a 4-week painting journey with me as I take you through: Thumbnailing exercises and learning to see in shapes, grouping values and some simple color strategies, foliage stylizing and simplification! Also, bad puns, dad jokes and hours of hands-on demos and painting instruction!

power lines going down a back lane, silhouetted against a pink and purple twilight sky. the trees and houses along the lane are all cast in blue shadow. the colours are laid out in a way that suggests the bi flag. very bisexual lighting. a street lamp glows, and some birds flying in the distance.

Illustration of a millefleurs-style tapestry of two barn owls circling a curled up rabbit. The animals are surrounded by various other plants and animals that juxtapose symbols of life and death, making it unclear if the rabbit lives or dies.

Risoprint-esque illustration of a giant white-bodied oarfish against a night sky, curled around a highway billboard. The billboard says “caution” in vibrating letters against a bright yellow background. Roadside lights and power lines are overlaid onto the oarfish’s body.

Illustration of a rat king (multiple rats tangled together by their tails). The rats are all clustered in the top half of the composition, with their tails forming a loop below. A dripping crown is overlaid on the loop, and the rats all have small crowns.

Illustration based on the The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where the phrase “albatross around your neck” is derived from. An albatross is tangled in rope, with the rope forming a noose around a skeleton’s neck and tied with a bowline knot. An arrow intersects the knot, and tears drip from the point of the arrow.

An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.
