This year I will try to limit all subscriptions. The greed of corporations is getting ridiculous.

As someone that spends a lot of time on youtube watching fashion styles, capsule wardrobes, etc, etc … I kind of want to see someone style the most boring columbia jacket since thats what I wear 99% of the time during winter 😔

How much progress have we made on climate change? YouTube video by Simon Clark

Another great morning video, this one ignited some hope that was dwindling. Also amazing use of real hand-made props. 🌎

My Watercolor Feed is looking *chef’s kiss* today 💋🙂‍↕️🤌🏻

Pamphlet of The Lion King musical againts the stage’s background.

A dream came true today. ✨ The cast did and amazing job. Incredible performance, music, costumes, and energy. Theatre is such an engaging form of art. Loved it.

Photo showing the inside of a ceramic bowl, mustard color with peppery texture. At the center of the bowl there is a smiley face with two round eyes and a little middle mouth where the glaze burned a little.

Showing the outside of the bowl. Used a similar peppery white glaze.

A little pottery wheel project ✨

Sadly, so much is lost when you have a wall of terms for both inclusion and exclusion. I hope BlueSky Feed Creator could explore feed training using posts as examples. A word out of context can mean multiple things in different set ups.

Needles to say, I put a lot of effort on my little feed. I want it to be a source of discovery and inspiration for me and other artists. I’m both the main user and harshest critic.

I’ve also had to block users that do adult content in watercolors because they do not use the labeling feature in Bluesky. If they did I wouldn’t have to, it would be up to each user and their settings. But since they don’t bother to label I’ve made the difficult decision to block them from my feed.

Now, my excluding terms, that’s another story. I thought I was going to list AI products and rest easy. But I want this feed to be SFW and I’ve had to go on a rabbit hole of exclusion terms to avoid nsfw content.

My inclusion terms aim to cast a wide net for traditional media, mixed media is allowed, but my goal for this feed is to be watercolour centred.

I use @blueskyfeedcreator.com to make my Watercolor feed, with the intention to not see AI slop, and only capture beautiful watercolours.

Mucha Museum What do you mean there are two Mucha Museums? In the City of Prague I admired Mucha’s Art Nouveau style up close and learned about his art philosophy and contributions to art.

New Blog Post ✨🌿🦋

I rarely write on my blog, and when I do, I always think its going to be a short one. 🤡

A watercolor sketchbook opened with a painting on each page on top of rocks. The left page has a landscape of an island the page on the right has a landscape of mountains with little snow on top. The style uses bright colors and blue hues. To the lower left side of the sketchbook there is an opened watercolor palette. To the top tight a water container with a brush resting on the rim. Watercolor con Paper.

Tried a little plein air this week.

I have a feeling that there will soon be a renaissance of traditional art in the coming years.

My bad with that one small eye but overall I liked the colors 😌

Not a fan of the colors but I really liked the shading in here. ✨

This one has a weird perspective if I take the photo straight it looks weird, but from this angle it looks decent. This is Aurora 🙈

I did not like this one and trying to improve it with colored pencils didn’t work. 😆

Belvedere Palace The Belvedere Museum in Vienna showcases various artworks, focusing on Gustav Klimt. It was very nice to learn about his art process and behind the scenes.

Wrote about my experience visiting the Belvedere museums. ✨🫶🏻

As a paying subscriber to the family plan for more than 2 years this is horrible. Canceling right now. Let’s see if they get the message. 😡
