Replying to @derpycheetokitten All about my colored and pastel pencils! (And yes, I did lose this comment for a couple months before I remembered to respond 🤫.) #arttips #coloredpencil #coloredpencilhack #arttricks #howtodraw #fyp

(It stayed "casual" for about two pages.) For this final challenge page, I chose to study a painting of Ophelia by an artist named Anna Lea Merritt. Ophelia's story, and especially the just-about-to-brim-over grief and desperation of this depiction, encapsulates so much of the story I've been…

Replying to @zaftigdollie How to paint with gouache! Feel free to leave any questions if you are struggling with something in particular.🖤 #gouache #arrtxgouache #himi #himigouache #howtopaint #artlessons

using some unconventional techniques because art that looks gritty and textured and human and unpredictable is what feels real and right to me! 💃✨️ Anyway.... I promise one day I'll make a longer version with explanations of my sources, etc. #arttechniques #artistry #coloredpencil…

I've got a cheap gouache palette and a dream #gouachepainting #sketchbookvibes #baroqueart #artvibes #gouachepaint

Happy to make art that says all of those things for me. #art #gouachepainting #graphitedrawing #artist

Anyway... I can't tell you how much I needed to see this comment on the day that you posted it. It helped me out of a very dark place. Much love and thanks to you. See y'all soon.♥️

It's the little things😌 #artistsoftiktok #artproblems #fyp

"Why are you re-painting the grief of artists from 400 years ago?" Babes, I still haven't gotten over the Roman invasion of Gaul in 58 BCE. Or the Minoan eruption of 1600 BCE. God forbid a girl wants to dabble in Baroque-era mourning aesthetics. #gouache #artistsoftiktok #gouachepaint #artworks…

Please find me on other platforms! Same handle as here. Thank you all again for being here and supporting my art. 🖤 #tiktokban #artist #arttok #goodbye

I hope you like fiction. #artistproblems #art #fyp

Absolutely devastated to be losing this platform and the beautiful, supportive community that you have given me. 💔

Dramatic sketchbook page number... 111? I feel like I've made one thousand of these, but also not enough. (In case you missed my first post; this is based on a detail of a painting by Van Dyck. My version is in gouache!🎨) #paintersoftiktok #artist #gouacheartist #gouache #renaissanceart…

To be fair, I wasnt able to paint for most of those months.😅 This page is based on a section of a much larger painting called "Requiescat" by a British artist named Briton Rivière, who was especially known for his depictions of animals. The original is one of the most famous paintings of dogs…

All art is political. Especially mine. That's all. #femalerage #womeninart #artemisiagentileschi #artista

"But Therese, that's just a master copy." Maybe I'm just trying to capture the version of me that loves it, ok? #preraphaelite #art #loveart #nostalgia #theartistsway #painting #gouache #dantegabrielrossetti

Somebody stop me or I might do it again. 🫷 #drawings #inkdrawings #stippling #pointillism #witchyaesthetic #sketchbook #arttok

I've decided that my sketchbook wasn't sad enough, so I'm adding in a painting of a sad dog for those of you who didn't get emotional after the first 112 pages.🤗💃🤠 #gouache #artistsoftiktok #gouachepainter #artworks #artemisiagentileschi #sadart #baroqueart #sketchbook

Just kidding; I have about 40 pages left to go. (Any day now. 🤡) #sketchbook #sketches #artproject #gouache #artistproblems #goauchepainting #artistsoftiktok

Replying to @zaftigdollie I miss them too. More soon.🫡🖤 #art #artemisiagentileschi

I need to stop saying "This is my favorite sketchbook page," because I have at least 20 of them, but... you know. (In case you're new here, this is based on a painting called "Vanity" by the British artist Frank Cadogan Cowper. I highly recommend looking up the original, since I simplified this…

Replying to @satsumaroon *disclaimer* Pencil sharpening methods can be a strangely controversial topic among some artists, so this is just what works for me! Not sponsored! 💌 #artsupplies #artlessons #howtodraw #drawings #pencilsharpener #pencilsharpeners #drawingsupplies

Replying to @artworks_00 This is for every artist who got caught up in the hypperealistic lime lip drawing trends a couple of years ago. 😆 TL;DR you don't have to choose between making your own art and having an art business! 🫶 #arttips #artist #artist #artlessons #theartistsway #artbusinesstips…

It's possible! I think. Maybe. ANYWAY, this lil' bb is based on a detail from a a Van Dyck painting called "The Prefect Raffaele Raggi." Van Dyck loved to paint dramatic fabrics and elegant hand poses (relatable), and had a way of making literally any subject into a dramatic fashion portrait…

Replying to @_somewhereinbetween_ Here are some tips for learning how to combine charcoal and graphite! I can't fit everything into one answer, but hopefully this is a good starting point.✍️ #drawingtips #drawing101 #drawingwithcharcoal #artlessons #charcoalandgraphite #arttips #drawingwithgraphite

I had to take a little break here recently because life was feeling a bit too much like these paintings ifyouknowwhatimean. So, if you've asked me an art question recently and I haven't answered it yet, feel free to ask it again here! Getting to as many questions as possible this week!🫶 #art…

Fans of Artemisia Gentileschi, please rise. (May your pillows always be cold and your enemies never sleep again.) #tradionalart #painting #artemisiagentileschi #baroqueart #caravaggio #baroquepainting #femalerage #art

This was page 81 of my sketchbook challenge, in gouache as usual. It's based on a painting of a Roman Vestal that *I think* was originally painted by Alexandre Cabanel (painter of the famous "Fallen Angel" painting that I also studied a few months ago). #gouachepainting #art #yearningart…

Here's an intro to all the erasers I use regularly! I regularly work on very thin/cheap paper and haven't had any issues with these so far. (Not sponsored!) #artsupplies #erasers #charcoaldrawingsupplies #drawingsupplies #artttok #howtodraw #arterasers #charcoaldrawings
