@DebMaluk I'm late to the #ArtAdventCalendar party but I loved this pileated woodpecker photo and decided to watercolour it! Thanks for the artistic inspiration!

Here's a quick little sketch of a street in Tiohti:áke (#Montréal).

To experiment with watered-down acrylic, I painted this on the "wrong" side of a canvas sheet (i.e., the raw, un-gessoed side). The rough texture is pretty fun to paint on!

Watered-down acrylic feels a lot like watercolour, but I like that acrylic lets you paint on a wider variety of unusual surfaces.

It had been decades since I’d done #watercolors when I found Lacey of Rebel Unicorn doing instructional TikTok videos. She reminded me how much I could enjoy this medium. Artists encouraging and inspiring artists is one of the most enjoyable experiences about the #ArtAdventCalendar. Thank you to all who interact with our art. It is gratifying to see that our work moves you in some way.
Watercolor feather study. #ArtAdventCalendar
This male Blackbird had no problem finding food in the snow - it was tucking into an apple on the ground in an orchard. In #Bath #Somerset #UK.
