![Sometimes things sit around the studio on easels, tables, or propped up along a wall or other surface, for a [hopefully short] period of time, until we're able determine what else is needed to finish them. Other times they get tucked away like a lost treasure awaiting the joy of their discoverer when they resurface at last! This sketchbook had been on an easel, since sometime last year, opened to a different page; but, we recently flipped through to rediscover this started composition. In total there are about four to five uncompleted works in this pad that need 'a little more' to be completed!
Artist's Statement / Backstory: This piece started as a pen [Sharpie Ultra Fine Point to be exact] and ink on watercolor paper. I was doodling with some different techniques that I like to use and revisiting some that I'd not worked with in a long while... I left the piece alone for a while until I decided it needed some watercolor washes to enhance some of the areas. I began layering in some washes in the way in which I wanted to divide areas of the composition and then stopped. As of today, I'm no longer able to recall what I needed to focus my attention on; but, I know that this piece got lost to time. One day in the near future I'll sit and work to complete the incomplete pieces in this sketchbook and you'll be able to see this finished artwork with more watercolor, oil pastel, colored pencil, and/or marker!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5m64ly2e37c6uhrukospoqd/bafkreib4psujxgbi4arg5rgpwlshbbvdslfa7ra3x6b5gfptbnfzsdfj7e)

![Working Wednesday!
Today we're sharing two WIPs or Works-In-Progress, as opposed to a completed artwork, for "Working Wednesday!" These two artworks were started right around the beginning of this calendar year and will need a lot more work before they're ready to be presented as finished compositions. The one on the left of the photograph is a 16x20" canvas covered in various types of paper, some acrylic paint, and a few other found objects before the paint had begun to be layered on. The one on the right in the photograph is a 10x10" canvas with the textured areas being created completely from dried and/or layered acrylic paint.
Artist's Statement / Backstory: I've been working with adding textured elements to many of the artworks I create and people seem to respond really positively to them and/or are inquisitive about my artistic process. For 2026, I wanted to start the year revisiting the two different ways I've achieved textured elements in the past before experimenting to see what else may be possible! When I begin working on heavily textured pieces, I always seem to find that the composition goes in a completely different direction than what I was first intending. Even when planning and laying the pieces out, what actually winds up occurring in the end, looks far different! I think that adds to my enjoyment in creating pieces such as these!
Thanks for sharing your lunch break [or whenever you're reading this] with us! We'll soon be heading back to work in the studio and hope that your 'Working Wednesday' is going well!!! Stay tuned later this year when I'm sure these pieces will one day be featured as completed artworks!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5m64ly2e37c6uhrukospoqd/bafkreietuf4xhlyucpyvf2w3zg4s4tbyrnlo3br62fqvidpv56ltxlplse)

Art vs Artist 2025 - I don’t think I have ever made one of these and ended up making a 2024 version as well for my curiosity. Past me avoided making any art boards of my work simply because I hated not having a defined style…

#KatiesArt a big new year 2026 art post made in one day. (10-ish hours). Ft. a blue mobian sonic oc girl, a happy wolf girl jumping in the air, a blonde satyr girl with pink highlights singing with a gold mic and her green eye is glowing, and a blue and pink cat girl ina black sparkly dress holding a nice glass of red wine (or juice idk lol) There are fireworks in the back and a rushed background of like a stage for the satyr and there are some railings so it can kinda look like I'm further in the front maybe? idk was trying to do something fun with perspective but like i said i was rushing to do this last minute before 2026 arrives in my time zone lol Text: "Happy New Year! 2026" Right to Left: Me, My fave dnd girl this year, a cute wolf girl belonging to @sparkysummers.vtubers.social , and @vixenvampiya.newgrounds.com herself!
I locked in. Happy New Year. Let's Go 2026!

Base by @raevi10.com but all the arts are by me :) I drew the most in October so that was the hardest pick but I think PEAK was the correct choice.

As an introduction of myself to this app I am sharing a photo of my first pinch pot of 2025. it is now fully dry; this photo was taken when it was in the leather-hard stage, it appears dark in value due to the water content.

Elphaba is coming along, almost done. A few more blingy adornments, and she'll be ready to go out and defy some gravity <insert witchy cackle here>. 😁🤪💚🖤🤍🩷

2025 is your blank canvas—paint it with bold colors, wild shapes, & fearless dreams. Let go of perfection & embrace creation. Here’s to a year of beauty in chaos & magic in the unknown. ✨
