I got watercolours for Christmas ayoooo

They’re so good broooo😭🤌

It’s been so long since I’ve used watercolours lmao it’s crazy, I didn’t think I would have this much fun tbh

I got some new watercolour paper and decided to make some 'for fun' art. It was just supposed to be watercolour, but I messed up on the shading for her face, so I slapped on some acrylics!

I thought that the space behind her was too empty, so I filled it in with as much of Pslam 91 that I could fit.

Not my best work, but illuminating experiment! I missed drawing for no reason other than I want to!

John Short at Solomon

I attended the opening of John Short's exhibition 'Horizons' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 tonight. The venue was packed.

I enjoyed viewing John's loose and spontaneous paintwork. He painted his paintings with watercolours and ink while including collage in some of them. My favourite paintings were wide and panoramic.

He had included four large ceramic pieces in his exhition. It was nice to see that he was trying a new medium to work in.

Margaret Corcoran at the Kevin Kavanagh

I attended the opening of Margaret Corcoran's exhibition 'Goddesses and Icons' at the Kevin kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8. The Venue was packed and the atmosphere was relaxed. There was lots of lovely portraits mainly painted in watercolors. My favorite paintings were 'Blossoming', 'Artemis' and 'Athena'. 'Blossoming' featured a statue standing in a cornucopia of blossoms done in oil on linen. 'Artemus' and 'Athena' were portraits created with water-based oil on canvas. Margaret's exhibition will run until the 20th May 2023.

Classy.

Since people are drawing them this month, I decided to join in. Obviously not drawing one every day, but I wanted to have at least one. I hope you like it. :3
