Meet Nelson, a baby bull dog pup. I just finished editing the full, real-time tutorial for this one which I’ll be adding to the Online Animal Art Masterclass very soon. . One common question I get that I answer and demonstrate in this tutorial is how to paint pet toys. . Sometimes those dog and cat toys can look like something strait out of the twilight zone which can make painting them a real challenge. . I share my thought process, techniques, and how to improvise when you don’t have the greatest photos of the toy/s. . For more details, click the link in my profile. . #bulldogpuppy

“Daydreaming”. 7x10. Colored Pencil & Copic Markers. . You know a great way to grow your creativity is simply by daydreaming more! To detach from ALL distractions (no phone, no news, no radio, nada!) and actively using your imagination to create something in your mind. . I do this often right before I sleep and when I’m on a walk with AnnaGrace. I just imagine new paintings, new business ideas, books I want to write, and fun color combos to add to my pieces. . When was the last time you allowed your brain to wonder without any distractions? . #bordercollie #bordercolliesofinstagram #strawberries #mixedmedia #coloredpencildrawing #artistsofinstagram #artsupplies #artclasses #artclassesforadults #petportraitartist #petportraiture #petsarefamily
