@wayofbrush Ok, ok, let's see... How about some pics from roughly ten years ago?
There are many older works that I like better than my new ones, but that's because I'm experimenting with more media and techniques now. Back then, I was very art-blocked and stuck in my comfort zone.😅

I wish I could show you the picture underneath this one. I had not quite figured out how to work with oil pastels then. Months later, still learning from the old mistakes, I came back to this sketchbook-page and it finally clicked.
Do you guys redo old pages? Do you let them be?

A gray umbrella in honor of this gray month. One of my first oil pastel studies. I used a drawing video from ohu_sia to guide me through the process. However, I had to adapt my technique, because my pastels were a lot harder than her precious Mungyos.

Too much RL going on to draw/paint anything new😭 but here are some gouache-studies from 2020. Top left is from January when I began using gouache. Bottom right is about eight months later. Practiced watercolor and acrylics in between. Gouache really is the best of both worlds!😍

Leaves from my sketchbooks. Left: oil pastels (2020), right: soft pastels (2021)

Quick landscape study to get to know oil pastels.

Negative painting practice. Still new to watercolor but slowly, very slowly, getting the hang of it.

Summer heat at noon but the mornings and evenings are feeling chilly already. Fall is coming! Time for some reds to match the weather.
Trading cards in German #aceo format (#kakaokarten) done with chalk pastels and colored pencils.

I recently changed some furniture in my living-room and found my old Wreck This Journal. I'll probably never complete it.😅Now that it's taught me to destroy my sketchbooks, I prefer doing that. How I wish I had time for both! #toomanyhobbiestoolittletime #WTJ #WreckThisJournal

Today I found out that Hans-Werner Sahm died last year. Feeling equal parts sad and nostalgic. 🥲
Studying his work with my childhood friend was my introduction to color. She and I would work from left/right or top/bottom and meet in the middle. Can you spot our different styles?
