I have painted a lot of birds before but this is my first time painting flamingos. They are such interesting birds. Their quirky shape and the way they stand gives them so much character and makes painting them so much fun.

I love buying new art supplies, it’s like a hobby of mine. In 2023 I was so busy, being a new mom, that I didn’t have much time to paint or try out any new art supplies. So instead I binge watched haul videos on YouTube and now my wishlist is a mile long.

I love painting animals. There’s just something about them that’s so intriguing. The picture that inspired this painting had a herd of buffaloes gathered at a dusty sunset.

I have been eyeing the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Art Nouveau palette for a while. The color selection is just gorgeous and gives off that vintage feel that I love.

I’ve never finished a sketchbook before. So I’ve decided to take it as a challenge and finish one. I’m starting out small, with a sketchbook of ten sheets, so it will be easier to finish.

I have always wanted to start an art blog. I even tried my hand at one before, it was on Wordpress but that petered out.
