I think there are so many other feeds for photos. I would love if this one was just true visual art, sans photography.

That’s a shame, Jay. Sorry I’ve been sparse with my offerings this year.

Can I just say though that I feel kinda sad seeing all the photos now.. they drown out the art.

Photos can be art but I fear that most of them in the feed are not. They’re just pics of beautiful things, like nature. 😕

Thank you so much!

A monochromatic, rusty red pencil drawing of a girl’s face, scrunched up, caught in a big laugh. She has a mass of wild curls framing her face, her eyes squeezed shut in mirth, and her teeth all visible behind her wide grin.

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 16, here’s a face I sketched last weekend.

I really love drawing faces, they’re so interesting. Not overly happy with this one but meh, it was fun.

Drawn with #Polychromos #pencil 191 Pompeian Red in a mixed media sketchbook.

Very cool!

A gouache painting in a sketchbook. The landscape orientated painting is an abstract progression of loose, textured, vertical coloured stripes blended into each other, moving from left through deep red, scarlet, orange, golden yellow, light brown, a thin band of dark brown, dark to lighter green, lemon yellow, golden yellow again then finishing with another thin band of orange on the right edge.

For #ArtAdventCalendar today, here’s a gouache painting I did in Feb ‘22, one of my faves.

Omg it does too! Brilliant 🤣

Haha! Thank you. Yeah I love painting fruit and veg 😊

That acid one is awesome 😂

Happy #ArtAdventCalendar everyone!

Here is an artichoke from August. Been playing with oils a bit this year and I have a lot to learn 😅

love this one! 🌝

Oh god he’s using ai to try and make himself sound human

Rude! I would take that as a dare to take even longer to decide on the food ;)

😂 truth!

Damn you Kai, I just got back into bed with a coffee and now I must get up and Vegemite toast too! 🤤

My heart breaks for you Beth, having to make that heart-breaking decision. I understand though, we all do I’m sure.

And I am glad you will be taking time to tend to your health, to grieve, and to reground.

Sending so much love to you and all the animals, always, from Australia ❤️

Ah, brilliant 😄

How technical are you, Jay?

The machine should still be good for Linux, try Mint or Ubuntu, both are well supported and similar-ish to Windows.

If that’s not an option, it’s possible it’s only 1 or 2 parts of yr machine specs that’s lacking, so you could take it to a shop to upgrade those bits.

Awesome, thank you! And I saw it closes a month later too which is great as I haven’t got there yet. Don’t worry about replies, I am very very sporadic with social media myself :)

Yikes Saskya!

Do whatever you need to do to shake that off.

Stunning!

This pain is the hardest. Sending love ❤️‍🩹❤️

something’s brewing

We so did! 🥂

Ciao! 💕 Nothing for a while, but we were talking about the apples I have pinned here, which started with the Continuous Contour line technique with my left hand, which I learned from you 🤗
