Attempting to finish my heart picture now. #BackToArt

<3 I'm a Canadian artist new to bluesky ! Follow along for more ! I'll post as often as I can. I recently left Insta 6yrs ago and will be doing a little comic to explain what's happened to me since I left #artist #art #canadianartist #backtoart #cute #cutegirls

August has been referred to as the 'Sunday of Summer' and we're reminded of all things Back to School; but, maybe this year it's time to go "Back to Art!" Starting this month and for the remainder of 2025 we'll have two or more classes being offered each month! Occurring on different dates and times with different media and subject matters there are truly opportunities for everyone at every skill level! We will continue to announce them here on our social media sites; but, you can also navigate to: https://www.craigscanvases.com/classes to see all that we have coming your way in the coming months. If you're looking for something particular that you don't see there send us a note or consider signing yourself up for one-on-one lessons instead!

Classes Coming!

I used to paint mostly with watercolors, like this piece from 2018 🌿
Now I’m taking my first steps into digital art — it still feels strange, but I’m excited to start again!

So it's been since 2015 since I did traditional art classes in college this week I've decided to pick it up again with @nerdforge.bsky.social's drawing course.

January artwork, a portrait digital painting for practice.

Hello ya'll, how are you doing? First post here and back to posting again on other social media platforms with this last artwork I did in 2024.

Side-by-side comparison of a selfie and a digital portrait. On the left, a man with silver hair and a beard is sitting in a car, wearing a white shirt, with sunlight streaming through the back window. On the right is a work-in-progress digital painting of the man, capturing his likeness with soft brushstrokes, focusing on facial features and expression

Four-day weekends are EVERYTHING. 🖌️✨ There’s something so fulfilling about carving out time for art every day during this break from the work routines. It’s grounding, it’s joyful, and it’s all mine. 🌈🎨

Here’s to finding those moments of creative flow!

#BackToArt

A charcoal drawing of a mannequin-style head is clipped to an easel, placed next to the original reference photo. The head is drawn with geometric shading that emphasizes light and shadow, capturing a sculptural look.

A partially completed painting of Frida Kahlo, created with vibrant acrylics, sits next to a printed reference photo. The painting captures Frida's likeness with her signature red flowers in her hair, dark brows, and vivid clothing.

A warm-toned, painterly portrait of a young woman is positioned next to the original printed reference image. The painting has soft, blended shading, giving a sense of depth and contrast.

🎨 After a dozen years, I’m painting again! Taking a weekly figure drawing class at Sonoma Community Center — 3 hours each Wednesday to dive back into art. Here’s my work so far, inspired by reference photos from our teacher. Grateful to reconnect with my creative side. #QueerArt #Sonoma #BackToArt

In a slump for all kinds of reasons, I’m starting to feel better. The Advice Episode of #ouropinionsarecorrect by @charliejane.bsky.social & @annaleen.bsky.social really helped. Their advice for writers is applicable for artists, ponies & whatever you want to 🐝 . #favoritepodcasts #backtoart
