I made eco-friendly art supplies. I made watercolor paints stored in upcycled bottle caps, mini watercolor books, travel sets, handmade papers, and container-less eco-paint refills.

Reading my class bio-anthropology book & learned of electron-spin-resonance dating of apatite crystals in teeth & now I'm hyperfocused (again) on calcium phosphates the body nourishes after death over many many years.

Life is insanely awesome!

Finished the largest painting I've done by far!! Per the request of a client, I painted this new pumpkin patch landscape. I wanted to challenge myself with size, 18"x24" fully watercolor.

Bring a friend to see these fuzzy guys! Look up close, almost feel the moth wings.

Learn about the insects without distractions from scrolling endlessly on websites. I know I can get distracted easily! Going in person allows me the peace of seeing with my eyes the depth and dimension of the insects.

Carrying on from yesterday, got more practice done! Not quite how I imagine but getting better and learning new heights for watercolor!

Vintage Watercolors @vintagewatercolors.bsky.social · Jun 29

Learning traditional Scandinavian Art, which usually uses oil painting, HOWEVER, I'm a watercolor artist. Making watercolors look like oil paint is difficult but I will get this!

Any tips welcomed!
