So, I am back to making lake pigments again after my fairly disastrous last attempt I finally figured out how to get things to work. I really like using things most people are not using (like I haven’t worked any with indigo, madder, cochineal, etc) and my most recent favorite is this incredible teal I got from black goji berries that looks like it could be a Phthalo pigment.

Let me know if people want to see my fun experiments, I am more than happy to talk about my paint making passions, but also don’t want to fill up people’s feeds if it is unwanted.

Natural/Homemade Paint + OptiFlow

Made my own paint, a mix of plant matter + vinegar + honey.

Used nightshade + buttercup for the brown, and japanese maple leaves for the red. 💖

"The Forest"

An illustration I painted and turned into an animated gif. This was very tedious but I like how it turned out.

My take on unicorns! I'd really love to make a mythical creature field guide someday, since the Spiderwick Field Guide is what inspired me to start drawing in the first place 🥰

"The Swimmer" Short animation thing I made a while ago.

I am noticing that a lot of my work has water in it in some form.
