Exclusive Sneak Peek At Never Before Seen Art Supplies I went to a convention for art supplies for an inside look at what’s coming out next year!

Tips for Painting on Cheap Watercolor Paper Struggle to paint on student grade paper?  Having trouble getting your watercolor sketchbook to behave?  I share some tips on painting on cheaper papers with watercolor!

Into #artsupplies?  How about #watercolor?  Ready to get really geeky about your favorite #paintingsupplies ?  I took a #watercolorclass with #danielsmithwatercolors and had the opportunity to interview the owner while at #Creativation !  So if you're into #watercolorpaints and art supplies, this one's for you!

Comic artists have a lot to think about, including whether to pursue traditional publishing or self publish. I wanted to share my reasons for why I Chose Self Publishing as a comic artist.

These CSY watercolors are legitimately some of the WORST watercolors I've reviewed- but in a unique and surprising way! I'm sure you've seen them around on Amazon, Etsy, and even AliExpress- now find out if they're worth the money, and if they're REALLY handmade!

It's my birthday, so I'll post what I want to, post what I want to, post what I want toooo A self portrait I really like from Lilliputian Living 2022! It's me--and Basil! making art together. And it's not even that big of a stretch- he often hangs out with me in the studio while I work. I want to paint this at some point because I'm desperately in need of a new icon image. Just been busy! #inks #inkedart #blackandwhite #originalart #traditionalart #brushpenart #artstudio #artsupplies #artist #artistatwork #whimsical https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-r4vsuSFc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Its cold out today, so bring on the heat! I could go for some Gumbo with a little #tabascosauce . A #Louisiana icon in red and green. #watercolor #watercolorart #watercolorillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8A_MdLuRQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy #stpatricksday ! I made these cute #papercraft #paperchildren as an Art Squad activity last year, and wanted to share them again! Two lucky little #leprechaun #paperdolls- I think I shared the color and cut sheets on my Patreon. They both turned out really cute and today is the perfect day to share them! #watercolor #watercolorart #watercolorcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5pof8uwvc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How's 2023 been treating yall? Hard to believe we're in MARCH now- time has flown! Spring is my favorite season, but this illustration is giving me summer vibes. I love how the jackrabbit turned out- I've been painting swamp rabbits for Ch 9 of my comic, so I've definitely been getting some practice painting fur. The #watercolortutorial for this #watercolorillustration went live this week- I hope yall will check it out and paint along! #flowers #colorful #originalart #watercolorart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0gXr2OnwV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I think I shared this illo awhile back, but I recently edited the tutorial for it, and wanted to share it again, in case anyone missed it. I kinda fell in love with it all over again while working on the tutorial- there's a lot going on here, and I loved painting it. #farmersmarket #sunflower #freshfruitsandveggies #farmfresh #originalart #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #sunnyday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpy8lA3shYy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another #YearoftheRabbit #watercolor #illustration but this one has more #springtime or even #Easter vibes. A girl and her #bunny surrounded by #wildroses #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #softvibes #whimsicalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cps0jSQut3-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Since I just finished my new mega palette, I had to take it for a test run! This inked illo of a mom making Blueberry jam with her kiddo has been on a stretcher board for months while I worked on other projects, so I figured it was time to get it painted! I think the original illustration was from the fourth volume of #LilliputianLiving , and I think the new revised inks (shown here) are in Curious Little Things, my #Lilliputian #coloringbook if you feel like coloring along! #whimsicalart #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #motherandchild #canning #makingjam #homecooking #cuteart #originalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Coxk5T2uXXg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy #LunarNewYear ! Since it's the #YearoftheRabbit I wanted to create more #rabbit and #bunny art! I had a couple different ideas in mind for my New Year #illustration, so I asked my Twitter and YouTube to vote, and they picked this #lopearedbunny girl! I have a full #alcoholmarker tutorial up on my Youtube Channel, if you'd like to color with me! #markercoloring #markerartist #markerart #alcoholmarkers #cuteart #bunnygirl #carrots #lopearedbunny https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuxZ5duGyx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I shared the printable lineart on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/nattosoup) if you'd like to print out this adorable lop earred bunny girl!

BRUSHPENS! Today I'm checking out four different brushpens- the new Pastel Tombow Fudenosuke, Sennelier's new watercolor brushpens, Kuretake's AI liner, and a while brushpen from Kuretake. Tests are done on white Bristol, white watercolor paper, and black drawing paper, and I also test for alcohol marker and water solubility!

Here's the second #watercolor #comic page in the last batch! I definitely was never guilty of running straight through a pile of freshly swept dust, no way. #comicart #watercolorart #graphicnovel #webcomic #Lilliputian #miniature #dollhouse https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnhvz3ZuBBa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
