For August, I decided to celebrate my love for Stranger Things with a month dedicated to the music! Up first is “I Melt With You” by Modern English. It was released in 1982. It appears in season 1 at Steve’s pool party.

I have been working on making my own pigments from shells I found by a creek, it's very therapeutic to grind up the shells #art #tradionalart #watercolor #watercolorpigments #pigment #pigmentgrinding #handmade #handmadewatercolors #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/ChtJ9OBsJN-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🐻 B E A R A L I N A 🥰 I hope it’s not too late to jump in for #50daysofcopperplate My daughter’s nickname. Well, her unofficial name is Bear, where my Instagram handle is based on. She wanted me to make this for her. I love how she is my biggest fan! She was actually the one who told me to draw the tulips. Haven’t drawn them in years, but I love her expression after all was done.😍 • • I used @thecreativekinds Amorino, Bougainvillea, Oliva, and Florence per her request. I love how they came out. As always, pictures don’t do them justice. These colors are just so juicy! • • Nib: Hunt 21 Paper: recollections @michaelsstores Holder: @heathervictoria1 • • #watercolorartwork #handmadewatercolors #copperplate #calligraphy #handmade #keepwriting #flourishing #flourishconfidently #engrossersscript #handlettered #goodtype #kcbearcreates #flowers #tulips #watercolorflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/CkhuynKub3p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This beautiful pigment I’m working with today is Pyrrole Orange PO73. It’s a DPP pigment from @kremerpigmente , which stands for di-keto-pyrollo-pyrrol. It’s more opaque than other organic pigments but can still be used for beautiful washes in watercolor. The Pyrrole pigments are great and non toxic alternatives for the lead molybdate and cadmiums with in the red/orange pigment options. From the Kremer website: ‘’Because of growing concern about possible health hazards related to the use of cadmium pigments in the coatings industry, chemical companies have long sought after a possible organic substitute.’’ This PO73 is a great solution for those concerns. It’s the most chromatic pigment currently known. Chroma means how much color (or wavelengths) it reflects. It’s not an orange pigment with the highest value, or what we would consider as a ‘’brighter’’ orange. For me, I’d like Benzimidazolone PO62 for that. Which is more towards the yellow side of the spectrum, whereas PO73 is more of a scarlet-orange, leaning towards the red side of the spectrum. This is also visible in it’s spectral reflectance curve which I make in the video post of this color. Hue wise, is very close to PO43, Perinone Orange, which is just a little less chromatic and less lightfast. #handmadewatercolors #handmadeartsupplies #artsupplies #handmadepaint #makingcolors #handmade #watercolor #art #paint #orange #artistquality #color #po73 #warm #pyrroleorange #deep #singlepigment #lightfast #pyrrol #beautiful #artisan #etsy #kalligrafie #gumarabic #honey #watercolorlove #watercolorpalette #wasserfarben #pigment #aquarelle (bij Dirty Blue) https://www.instagram.com/p/CicXPsJLQ4Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

⭐️ Galaxy ⭐️ QOTD: do you like painting galaxies? Happy Friday friends I hope you have a wonderful weekend! This was a painting I did on a whim, what do you think of it? I like how the different colours blend together. I used some of my colors from Vanessa at The Sprout Creative, I wish I had recorded the process of painting this but I tend not to think of it until after :( #thesproutcreative #handmadewatercolor #handmadewatercolours #handmadewatercolors #handmadewatercolour #handmadepaint #artisanalwatercolors #makingpaint #paintmakingprocess #watercolorvideo #paintmakingvideo #studioscenes #speedpaint #livepainting #creativewatercolor #mixingpaint #pigmentmixing #obsessedwithcolor #pigments #studioscenes #carveouttimeforart #showusthecolor #colorcrush #artdesk #womenartists #handmulled #watercolorpaintmaking #paintmixing #handmadewithlove #artmaterials (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce6jT34OoDo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
