Cretaceous Alberta - Tumblr Posts
working on a project…
Unfinished dromaeosaurus painting, the main peice of my art class year-end project “Colours of the lost world: Reconstructing Cretaceous Alberta”
going to try and get as many illustrations done before the end of the school year as humanly possible to cover as wide a range of Cretaceous Alberta’s fauna & flora.
the water and the trees are being a struggle, but I’m enjoying how they’re turning out :)
Ko-Fi Shop is live! I'll be uploading some ORIGINALS of my paleoart pieces tonight and all week, so be sure to keep an eye on my shop listings :)
I'll also add my keychains, pins and stickers alongside my first sticker sheet (available above)....and maybe even my more random products, such as polymer clay earrings and felted critters!
hehehe going to the Royal Tyrell Museum again in August, and I am boiling over with an idea
So I've been to the Royal Tyrell 3 times already before this, it is such an amazing museum :,) but this time I want to work on some paleoart if I can
So the plan is to just go around and reconstruct the dinosaurs as they are mounted in the museum, and i think that will be really fun as I usually go off of 2D skeletal drawings as a reference for accuracy, so this’ll be like drawing my dinosaur models… just, skinned and de-meat-ifyed (?)
If anyone a specific Canadian dinosaur or maybe Montana-area ones as well (I think Tyrell has a few) let me know and I can keep an eye out for them :) and hopefully sneak in a little doodle!
*cronch*
ALRIGHT EVERYONE ITS HITLIST TIME
we head out for the city thurs, and I'll be at the museum sat & sun I think? So here's some of my "targets" to draw:
-Black beauty (T. rex) and the Dinosaur Hall Tyrannosaurus
-Borealopelta
-Oryctodromeus (if they have one, this was a request, I'll try my best to look for it :)
-The allo and campto in the picture
-Any ornithomimid
-Any ceratopsian
Should I try drawing one of the mammals there? I've never actually tried reconstructing one before (booooo me)
If anyone wants pings for when I post the art from the mounts, let me know in the comments :D
HYPEE HYPE I LOVE DRUMHELLER

Completely forgot to post this, but here's the final painting of Dromaeosaurus I finished back in June from my project "Colours of the Lost World: Reconstructing Cretaceous Alberta".
ooor you can just call it my Cretaceous Alberta project. I'm basically just making a pile of random art of Alberta (canada) 's paleofauna and flora
I'll probably post up my process pretty soon, so keep an eye out for that if you're interested :)
this was also a project I started within last years art class, so I'll post the rest of the year-end art show display pieces I made for this project :) as I live so close and Alberta's dinosaurs are one of my most common subjects, I'll definitely be continuing this series. let me know what you'd like to see next, either in the comments or my asks!
Process shots of my latest acrylic painting, as promised!
The next acrylic addition to my Cretaceous Alberta series is already under way (a pair of baby styracosaurus), but there will definitely be a ton of watercolours along the way :)
+ heading out to Drumheller to visit the Royal Tyrell Museum in a day for the 4th time (listen, it's the best museum ok?) and I'll be spending ~9 hrs there this time to draw the mounts. That'll def add a lot to my Cretaceous Alberta collection. Let me know if there's a specific species you'd like me to look out for to draw there :D
