Long eared owl watercolor sketching. Working on something digital in the mean time :)

Another great abstract art session with @lessharpe123 We had to do a paint spatter from an image and then a painting from the paint spatter. Loads of fun! #abstractart #abstract #abstractpainting #abstractwatercolour #abstractwatercolor #abstractwatercolorpainting #romanszmal (at Botanic Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxS24BL38Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone COMPLETELY and paint something you have never ever done before. Bonus points if it'll be a gift for someone close. I painted this donkey portrait a few days ago for my mom. An introduction to the actual gift: a walk&picknick with a donkey. I learnt that I prefer to gift handmade things, especially for special people. So I decided to paint this portrait. It was challenging, but very fun to do as well. Might do more of them! . . . #animals #animaldrawing #animalpainting #animalportrait #donkeys #donkeyportrait #animalart #watercolors #watercolourpainting #watercolourart #cotmancolours #winsorandnewton #romanszmalaquarius #romanszmal #portraitpainting #artistofinstagram #paintingoftheday #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CECYo1-HTSS/?igshid=ut2z597nl0y4

Loose Osprey with big Chinese brush

Willow ptarmigan. Looking a little sad there!

Gray Crowned Rosy Finch. What a long name!

🌕 Finally something new! 🌌 It's been way too long since I posted anything new. I've felt artistically exhausted and my main focus shifted to studying, teaching and reading books. Gods, I've read a lot! But I have missed my watercolours even more. This small painting was made on postcard paper. I've enjoyed painting postcards a lot and am waiting for myself to finally have the guts to put them up for sale or anything like that. One day... A person can only dream, right? Slowly the ideas for paintings are coming back. Which hopefully means I'll be getting back into painting and posting as well. Hopefully everyone is still safe and healthy! . . . #watercolourpainting #landscapepainting #dreamylandscape #nightsky #forestpainting #postcardpainting #handmadepostcard #whitenightswatercolours #romanszmalaquarius #romanszmal #watercolourart #watercolourlandscape #artistofinstagram #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CGmnDFYny1U/?igshid=yjrjdrp9q9w2
