This has been a long time coming & VERY hard to hit "publish" on... if you could check out patreon.com/meganfoldenauer that would be amazing! It has all sorts of artsy perks (discounts, early access to new art, behind-the-scenes, and original work, etc.)
THANK YOU & back to painting I go! Gulp!

Two additions this morning - my vintage scalpel (doesn’t everyone have one?) and a favorite watercolor brush from @rosemarybrushes. All drawn with a @speedball ink brush from this month’s @getsketchbox.

Follow this passionflower bit from very rough sketch to highly refined & nearly “done.” It was lovely to spend some time in the garage with my dirty plants. ❤️🌱

Take a little close up stroll along the giant freaky plant drawing, why don’t’cha? Take your mind off things for a second. I found the perfect track to accompany it too.

I can’t decide which lighting is “better” for Cathy’s eye, eye #18 in my very tiny watercolor project, so, you’re getting both. The layering in this was insanely pale and delicate.

Tiny Watercolor Eyes #8 & 9 (I think) made with the wee watch palette. It only takes the primaries, black & white, to paint literally everyone’s skin.
