Phenomenal Manticore mini (in only 2 pieces) from SteamforgedLtd. Mainly used #slapchop on it. Loads of fun to paint

This design has a background of wet-into-wet aquamedia, in red, fuschia, purple, blue, violet, aqua and yellow-orange. Inside a paler circle in the center, the words say, “Flow: The creative moment when a person is completely involved in an activity for its own sake. – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.” Below that in smaller letters it says, “jennawebbart.com.”
Many #artists, #writers, and other #creative people talk about the #flow state. Have you experienced it? How do you know you’re there? Here’s the word from the “father of flow.” #ampainting #amwriting

Thought I was finished working on the art for p 11 of my GN only to realize that I forgot the eyebrows and the whiskers on ALL the characters on that page! EEK! #ampainting #amdrawing #kidlit #kidlitart
Painted this giant from @SteamforgedLtd strange scale (10cms) but great character and a blast to paint
#ampainting #WIP #warhammer
For me each painting is like a person. Not in that i get attached to them, but they are made up of hundreds of different paintings. Possibilities. What might have been. Done. Re done. Experiment and done again. #ampainting
Finished painting all the characters on my sample GN art pages 10 - 15. Now my eyes are bleary and my tummy is growling, time for a dinner break. Not sure if I'll be back at the drawing board tonight. Depends on my eyes and brain. #kidlitart #ampainting #illustration
I hate beginning things. So intimidating. So I have to trick myself by sneaking into the process. Think I'll start by painting all my characters ears or shall it be eyes first. #kidlitart #AmPainting #illustrating

Yikes, it's after 4pm and I just finished doing ALL the art admin and other tasks. Now on to painting my Graphic Novel pages! Hoping to finish before this weekend ends. #ampainting #illustrating #KidLitArt
Started coloring in my 6 inked GN pages. Hoping to finish ASAP so I can register for @kidscomicsunite.bsky.social Pitchfest. #ampainting #KidLitArt #kidlit
I do love a new half-pan day! 🎨 #art #colour #ampainting
On a background of purple, fuschia-pink, blue-green, and metallic gold wet-into-wet aquamedia, a lighter circle encloses the words, “Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence. – Osho.” Below that in smaller letters is the originator’s information: “jennawebbart.com.”
Do you see your #creativity as an act of #rebellion? Yet in #artwork many of us do open new dimensions of self-expression. #amdrawing #ampainting

On a square background of wet-into-wet watercolor in hues of blue, turquoise, gold, and pink, a lighter circle encloses the words, “Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding make even more art. – Andy Warhol / jennawebbart.com.”
How do you make #art? Do you spend ages planning, or just leap in to see what happens? Great #artwork can happen either way. Do you agree with Andy? Is this the way you work? #amdrawing #ampainting

Sepia watercolour of ruined castle with most of a tower in the centre, a much narrower piece of tower on the left and a wall with window arches on the right. All are 3-4 storeys high. There are shrubs and trees in front to the right, and shrubs to the left. The rest of the middle foreground and foreground is a rough grassy sloping field. There is a ruined gate in the left foreground and thence a wire fence with fence posts all the way across to the right. I painted this in the accommodation I stayed in just around the corner from the castle in Sheriff Hutton, near York, England. 70% of my posts get discarded because of #AltText and the inability of #BlueSky to save drafts. I like to provide AltText, so often need to come back later to do so, but have to discard the whole thing as saving drafts is not possible. Didn't lose it this time, so I hope you enjoyed the description? Paul Nicholson, England.
Sepia watercolour postcard of Sheriff Hutton Castle, #Yorkshire, #England.
Stayed in a B&B by the castle ruins and painted it there.
It was posted and survived the UK postal system.

Ruined castle on a hill the other side of a small valley from my viewpoint. In the middle foreground are the castle walls. It's all run by English Heritage but if you go in, you'd miss out on this view

Watercolour sketch of a white walled old church with red rooves and a green/leaden spire. To the right there is a large tree towering over the cemetery with some headstones visible, beyond which is another white building with a dark roof. The mountains are in the background and there is a rough grass foreground up to the cemetery wall.
Watercolour sketch of the old church in Olden, #Norway 🇳🇴
A local benefactor built a new larger one nearby, and there was a condition that the old one should be maintained.
Now it's a small museum.

Used my permanent black pens, a water-soluble black calligraphy marker and a water brush pen with some of the black marker giving off green tints instead of grey. Depicts my view within a local coffee shop looking at the counter and the display unit for food and muffins/cakes. Didn't quite have the nerve to try drawing people in - and they didn't stay still for long enough either.
More from my sketchbook and my "sketch what's in front of me" this time in a Muffin Break coffee shop to show I don't only draw in hotels and pubs in #England.

Again I used permanent black pens, a water-soluble black calligraphy marker and a water brush pen with some of the black marker giving off green tints instead of grey. Depicts my view from the quiet seating area in the hotel bar, 2 tables along from last time, through a different doorway to the other end of the main hotel bar. The edge of the mantelpiece on the right goes out of the picture to span a fireplace and join up on the left of yesterday's picture.

Pitched roof over a stone building housing the working water mill. Before the mill is the millpond with the sluice gate mechanism to the right of the mill. The Lurgashall mill, probably dating in parts from the 17th century, grinds corn for flour and animal feed. The overshot waterwheel provides power for two pairs of millstones, a grain cleaner and a sack hoist.
Sketch book on the café table looking out at the watermill subject of today's sketch.
Pen + watersoluble ink sketch of the water mill used to ground flour on sale in the museum shop.
Today en plein air, if sitting in the warm café looking out counts 🙂

A paint your own adventure in red #goodmorning #ampainting #art
This square design centers on a dramatic painting by the author, of a dogsled team and musher surmounting a rocky pass. Below left is a black-and-white photo of the artist, Gregory Manchess. Above the painting, it says, “A Muddy Colors Mini-Master Class.” Below and to the right of the artist’s picture, it says, “Gregory Manchess on Planning Paintings.” At the bottom, in smaller letters, it says, “Artwork © by Gregory Manchess, via Muddy Colors Blog.”
Here’s a mini-master class in #visual #composition for all #artists, but specifically for #painting. Gregory Manchess is one of my favorite #painters. Everything he says in this article is worth heeding! #amdrawing #ampainting
