omg juliidae! that shell is painted so beautifully

thank you! it’s arches 300lb cold press, but wish i could’ve gotten hot press bc the color does not go down evenly on this texture.

thank u so much!

thank you!

thank you! it was hard to stick with it but i’m glad i did

thank you Ligus !!

thank you, i feel like a lot of mosses have that beautiful range of green to red but these guys especially

thank u !!

This piece was done interning with National Tropical Botanical Garden in collaboration with Tim Flynn and Amanda Vernon, to be used a cover for a field guide for common mosses found around the main Hawaiian islands. Super fun project and subject :)

also have no idea if i’ll have that as the background color, i’ve never had to do a wash that big so maybe ill just keep it white 💀

this is hopefully gonna be a gouache piece that might be big? idk i’m still deciding between 11x14 or 16x20
