Tiny Kingdom book preorders are officially OPEN on GalleryGerard.com! My first book dedicated entirely to my oil painting process follows one painting from the earliest sketches and color studies through underpainting, glazing, and final details. Early preorders get a bonus print!

The final little details of Tiny Kingdom! 🌿⁠ She will be coming with me to DragonCon this weekend, and if you’ve ever been curious about learning how I paint in oils, I’ll also have a handful of advance copies of my new book with me at the show! ⁠ Preorders open this Friday! #DragonCon2026 ⁠

Thank you all SO much for the encouragement on my first Artist Proof painting! Your response made me so excited to paint more!⁠ I couldn’t possibly bring her to DragonCon all by herself… she needed a few of her animal companions to come along! 🖤✨⁠ ⁠ Artist Proof #2!⁠ ⁠ #ArtistProof #DragonCon2026

Sneak peek of a new painting for #DragonCon ⁠ ⁠I’ve always loved stories where the boundary between our world and the Otherworld feels impossibly thin...and there is something so haunting about Clíodhna sitting beside the sea, waiting for a love she chose above all else 💔⁠ #IrishMythology

One glaze at a time... I love this stage of a painting. The values are already in place, but layer by layer, the underpainting slowly gives way to color, A little sneak peek from the tutorial book I've been working on this year. ✨ #FantasyArt #PaintingProcess #ArtTutorial

This time-lapse is from the tutorial book I've been creating over the past year, where I'm documenting each stage of this painting from start to finish. If you've ever been curious about how a fantasy oil painting develops layer by layer, there's much more to come! #PaintingProcess #Underpainting

Happy Summer! To celebrate the season, I've tucked a special thank you into every order placed through Gallery Gerard for a limited time. You'll also find savings throughout the shop until the end of the month!⁠ ♡︎
