Hedgehog in gouache. This little guy took longer than I’ve spent on a painting in quite some time. Practice, practice, practice. #hedgehog #gouache #1000badpaintings #instaart

I had cards printed from my orca painting - just got them and they look great! They’re big - 5” x 7” - and nice, heavy stock. They come with envelopes and lots of love. Let me know if you’d like to buy some; only $3 each or 10 for $25. #orca #seattle #se

Here’s one of my favorite plants; the spathiphyllum or peace lily. I think we have 6 or 7 of them. I love their graceful leaves so I thought I’d try to paint one. #gouache #peacelily #houseplant #1000badpaintings

With love on #transdayofremembrance (a day late) - there’s nothing more important or powerful than the journey to your true self, no matter who you are. #watercolor #ink #butterfly

Roxy reminded me that I haven’t drawn her in a while so to shut her up I did this little sketch. I ended up liking it because she looks like a fat cat pillow. #fatcat #watercolor #1000badpaintings

Trying out some new gouache paints. Some succulents, from a photo by @succulents.in.seattle (thanks!).

Little quick grasshopper sketch. I feel like these guys were everywhere when I was a kid, but you don’t see them as much these days. Maybe I don’t spend enough time playing in grassy fields. ♀️ #sketch #inkandwatercolor #buglife

I wanted to try and paint something based on a specific picture I took, and though I consider this to be a fail in general, I learned a lot from it. One thing is that I still prefer gouache to watercolor (this is some of both). The photo is at my other ac

Super simple quick bee sketch. #draweveryday #1000badpaintings #ilovebees

More sloppy watercolor. #snail #escargot #watercolor

Trying to get the hang of this splatter watercolor style. It’s fun, but feels like just not having any other ideas for a background. ♀️ #watercolor #hummingbird #color #rainbow

Still indoors when I should be outside on this lovely day. But slowly getting things done... #shrooms #fungi #watercolor

Playing with something different. Not sure how I like the end result but it was fun. 😊 #orca #seattle #panderingtotourists #watercolor

Getting some stuff ready to hang at @salmoncreekcafe next month! Come see, and even if it’s not for the art, you’ve GOT to try their amazing food. A local gem of a restaurant! (Seriously, click that link and look at their food pix.) #burien #tastyfood #pa

I like frogs and I like sempervivums so I guess I just wanted to put the two together. More rainy-day scribbling. #frog #instaart #sempervivum #draweveryday #evenifitsucks

Quick baby goat sketch on a quiet morning. I don’t love it but it was good practice. #goat #baaaa #1000badpaintings #sketchbook #baaaaaad

Outdoor sketching with @alexmarialdraws and friends. And what a perfect fall day for it!! 🍁🍂
sonyaseattle:
Still playing around with watercolor techniques, with mixed results. For someone used to opaque paints, they can be so frustrating but also very fun...if I can only force myself to loosen up with them. So maybe doing a whole boatload of mediocre paintings

Sad manatee from drawing night with @its.the.swede at the HPIC Art Lounge. It was fun to hang out and catch up! #watercolor #ohthehugemanatee

Another quick sketch, another little Arles street scene. I cannot get the hang of the sunlit shadows yet, but I’ll keep trying. #watercolor #sketch #arles #drawmore #urbansketcherwannabe #frustration
