✨Yes! I caught a Horned Hercules! Guess I was stronger! Whenever I see bugs now all I can think of is animal Crossing dialogue and when I’ll be able to sell them to Flick.

I love seeing nature after it has rained :) the plants are always so vibrant especially when there’s a brightly coloured mushroom or flower in there 🌿🍄 Im still unsure how I feel about this watercolor paper since it has more texture than what I’m used to, but I have 30 sheets of it now so I guess I’ll find a way to make it work 😅

B u g g✨ the beetle from yesterday is complete! This guy was a time to paint. I think it was because of all the colours blending together but with the help of water and a lot of salt, I think it went alright 👌 .

✨ glossy ✨ I used a bit if my acrylic ink for this vibrant friend❤️ #art #painting #watercolor #watercolorpainting #bug #study #beetle #entomology #illustration #naturepainting #insects #cottagecore #goblincore #artistsoninstagram #cute #sheridancollege #sheridanvca #wildpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CRO8qOTDAV7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another beetle for you! . One more to go and then it’s time to……... ✨a s s e m b l e✨

There’s more bugs to come 😄one more before assembly time! this one was done almost entirely with black and red acrylic ink including a ✨sparkly✨ gold one! Do you have a favorite bug so far?

Friend shaped 🥰 yellow is an interesting colour to try and paint with because it’s so bright, but I think it looks good on this happy little beetle friend ☺️ there’s a bunch of these types of beetles with all sorts of different patterns and colours too! Very cute friends

🐞 a better look at the Bug Collector print 😊 do you have a favorite? I think mine is the little yellow one or the Hercules beetle

I had a lot of fun with this one :) it went mush further than I had originally planned, but the end result was much better than I expected ☺️ the hardest part was putting together all the smaller components since they were done on different bits of canvas paper, but I managed to stitch them all together with the magic of technology 😅

Amphibious friend! What would you name him? 🐸

Enjoy this little Dart frog hopping across your feed ☺️

🐸Chitchat Chanterelles 🍄 If you spot him in the forest, he will talk to you for hours. The catch? He only talks in rhyme. Do not touch his little hat, he will certainly not like that. .

A brightly colored friend this time!

Strawberry poison 🐸🍓 how can something so dangerous have such a sweet name :0

Amphibious friends! 🐸 These little guys will be up together as a print soon, but for future amphibious friends would you like to see them as individual 5"x7" prints? Let me know 🤗 🐸

The first of the mini originals is done! This 5 spotted ladybird is 3"x3" and will need a home soon :) I’ll keep you updated on the status of the other mini canvas originals (hopefully will start a moth one today👀) when they are ready I’ll post the details and have them up on Etsy ☺️

Hello friends and today I bring you another of the 3"x3" mini canvases ☺️ this one has a pretty little Scarlet Tiger Moth❤️ next up: I think it’s time for a little mushroom…?

✨Taraxacum✨ and so with the ending of summer, so too does the season for dandelions come to an end. Now all that’s left to do is scan it and add the labels! Next up I’m thinking… Red clover? Then maybe some fun fall forage flora! Let me know any other plants you'd like to see :)

I present to you... The smallest lil mushroom that you ever did see ✨this is the 3rd of the mini canvases! now just need to let them all dry (why must oil paint take so long to dry 😭)

Red clover! 🍀 This was probably the most difficult one so far because of all those little petals, but I’m very pleased 😊 these are also very tasty! If you lick the bottoms of the petals it’s wonderfully sweet✨
