Saw Whet Owl thinking about breakfast at sundown. Chalk pastels. Thanks to @blueridgewildlifectr for granting me access to photos of their patients for referencing.

So happy to be working with Chalk pastels again. As fun as it is to use up this old journal sketchbook, I'm going to switch to another sketchbook I have with 140 lb paper for the next pastel. Should grab the pastels more and allow for more layering.

January 20th-21st: Switched things up with chalk pastels. I forgot how much I enjoy them. It's a challenge to get fine details with them. Sometimes I win, sometimes the pastel wins, but as I long as I work with it, the outcome is one of my favorites. #artist #wildlifeartist #nature #pastels

January 11th through 13th's daily sketches.
Been having a lot of fun with color in a mix of watercolors, gouache, and inks, but I always come back to pencils, charcoals, or anything black and white๐ค๐คโจ๏ธ.
Yes! Mine too!
Hello, travelers. I am also a new artist here.
An uncertified druid with a sloth as my spirit animal (but I love wolves) I make fantasy & surrealism art, love peculiar creatures, DnD, and moody art subjects.
Hope we can explore art together

Wow, you do a really great job getting a smooth application. I would've guessed you were using oils!
Lovely work๐. Do you use oils or acrylics? ๐
Mixed media. Sketched one day and painted the next.

Our beloved Pikachu chicken in all his fluffed glory๐. Mixed media of watercolors and ink.
Making this paper work even though it's not really designed for paints. Makes for an excellent crinkly flip through though.
