Photo of a A5 watercolour painting of a shepherd-type dog's face, looking at the viewer with bright eyes and a happy-looking open mouth. The painting is all in mottled shades of blue, with black and white ink details, and blue paint splatters.

My family got their first dog a year before I was born and have always had them since.
I don't know how I'd cope without dogs in my life, they have so much joy and love to give <3

#repostyourart Day 15: Soft

An original digital illustration by Loadofolbobbins of a white browed tit warbler bird perched on a thin spiky branch. It is quite a puffball shaped bird with an array of pink, blues, purples, oranges and greys in all it’s feathers so it looks like it rolled around in lots of eyeshadows. The background is splashes of light blue ink.

In the off chance this may reach someone in the wilds of Bsky during these interesting times here's a bonus colourful pic today, whose name alone should illicit a smile...the White-browed Tit Warbler. #RepostYourArt

Photo of a painting on A4 paper depicting two fancy goldfish, painted in gouache, with a textured blue watercolour background. One fish is mostly white with red-orange splotches, whilst the other is mostly red-orange with white markings and black speckles and a small oranda wen. The gouache has been used in a way to imply the shading of individual scales and give the painting texture. In the background are fake vines on wood grain.

This painting is in a weird space between 'I'm really happy with the colours and how they depict the goldfish'. But also 'I'm just never happy with how it looks when scanned/photographed'.

Painted in 2022, Watercolour and gouache

I tend to accidentally spelly their name "Cassieopea" because I'm used to calling them "Cassie's". Oops

A unique trait of linnies is their tendency to just hang upside down or sideways.

Collage of 4 photos. The first shows a transparent sticker with an illustration of a hummingbird with moon themed accents in white ink, stuck on a bamboo pot. The second shows 3 bookmarks, each with a different design with a patterned gradient background and a white outline of an animal with moon details. The third shows a small black notebook with a transparent sticker with an outline of a cat with moon details in white ink on. The last shows portions of two small art prints and one large art print, nestled amongst cardboard.

Photo of an A5 sized watercolor painting of a tabby cat, laying on it's side. It is painted in shades of purple, brown and orange, with black and white details in ink and drips and splatters of paint.

I was nervous of being able to depict a tabby cat with my usual style of splatter watercolour painting, but experimenting with the technique was fun!

This is Mya, for a friend of mine.
