Rosy Maple Moth

You all know how much I LOVE rosy maple moths. Besides having the absolute best colour scheme, they’re also super fuzzy AND are native here in NB. Alas, they’re not fans of urban areas, so I haven’t encountered any in person. Some day!This piece was a style experiment. I wanted to try painting my sticker style with watercolour and really maximize the soft look. This experiment was inspired by Vena Carr‘s work. Vena’s an absolutely amazing, local artist here in Fredericton whose work you should definitely check out!

Orange Tabby Two

Sorry for the late post this week. We’ve been having a heatwave. Not great for someone who can’t thermoregulate. 😛

Here’s the second portrait of this lovely, tabby boy! I’m especially pleased with this one. It took quite a while to get the shadows dark enough, but it was worth the struggle.

Black Lab Puppy

Here’s a black lab puppy I painted recently for a private client. I absolutely loved painting this little guy. The pose was super fun, and working with the client was a dream.

I focused on creating a variety of edges to the shadows and balancing details to reinforce the focal point around the face. It can be incredibly difficult to create a strong focal point when using all highly saturated colours, and that’s definitely something I’m still figuring out.
