It‘s Ace Week! Time to celebrate! 🖤🩶🤍💜 If you don’t know what asexuality is, you can learn more here: acesandaros.community/learn/the-as... I needed to do a bird with a fitting color so enjoy my violet-backed starling. #birdart #watercolour #traditionalart #queer #AceAtelier2026 #aceweek #ace

Bird of the week 42: Secretarybird (Sagittarius serpentarius) #birdart #birds #traditionalart #watercolour #art

I was reminded of how I started to learn how to draw. The dvd of 'Spirit - Stallion of the Cimmaron' had a tutorial on how to draw Spirit. I drew lot of horses after that. Today I wanted to try again, searched for a ref pic of Spirit and found one with the eagle. #horse #fanart #drawing #art

Bird of the week 41 and it also happens to be the bird for Day 3 of #birdtober: Resplendent Quetzal #birdart #birds #watercolour #traditionalart #art

Black Woodpecker for #birdwhisperer September #birds #birdart #watercolour #traditionalart #art

Back to my 'bird of the week'-project. I skipped some weeks for other projects so we are now in week 40. This weeks bird is a 'Black Skimmer' (Rynchops niger) #birdart #birds #watercolour #traditionalart #art

Today I tried painting a dahlia from the garden of my mum. It was more difficult than I thought. All these tiny petals confused me. #flowers #watercolour #traditionalart #art

I had the opportunity to paint on a jute tote bag so I went for this #bluejay. Painting on everyday objects is just great because that way you'll always have a reason to pick up your art and even to carry it around. #art #traditionalart #diy #birdart #bird #animalart #wildlifeart #totebag

There aren’t a lot of things that are as calming as watching these duckys sleeping. Or watching birds in general. #birds

#SciArtSeptember Day 5 is 'Saffron' and in german there is a very old children's song that has a line about saffron making the cake yellow. My grandma sang it a lot with me as a child, so I always think of cake when I hear 'saffron' #watercolour #traditionalart #art

#SciArtSeptember Day 4 is 'Azure'. I'm not sure if the colour of them is azure, but I really wanted to paint a 'palette surgeon fish' 😄 #fish #watercolour #traditionalart #art

#SciArtSeptember Day 3: 'Sanguine' Chose to draw a Blood-coloured Woodpecker (Veniliornis sanguineus). #birdart #birds #watercolour #traditionalart #art

#SciArtSeptember Found another interesting fact for 'violet': Did you know that some pigments, adhesives and varnishes show fluorescence under ultraviolet light? Pictures are taken by myself. The map is a colourized copper engraving, possibly 17./18. c. The third is part of a family tree from 1781.

#SciArtSeptember Day 2 'Violet' is technically a repost, because I created it 4 years ago for my first #AvianAugust. But I never posted it on Bluesky, so have a look at the 'Violet-backed Starling' #birdart #birds #digitalart #art

I just discovered #SciArtSeptember and I really like the concept. Maybe I will do some birds or something. Found a 'Malachite Sunbird' (Nectarinia famosa) for day 1 ‚malachite' #birdart #birds #watercolour #traditionalart #art

AI Slop history content has become a YouTube grift that is destroying an entire genre's credibility. It's gotten to the point where I felt I needed to air my thoughts on the subject, I've been writing this video since December, and it's about time I made it

#AvianAugust Day 31: Wilson‘s Bird-of-paradise (Cicinnurus respublica) Another bird of the category "what did nature created there?!" And that’s it, AvianAugust 2026 is finished! Thanks @cookiedoves.bsky.social for organising! #birdart #birds #watercolour #traditionalart #art

Tag your morning hair! When in doubt, draw a cockatiel. When doubt lingers, draw cockatiels with unfortunate hair. #Art #birds #BirdSky #Parrot #ParrotSky #Cockatiel #Cute #TraditionalArt #Doodles #Illustration

#AvianAugust Day 13 & 14: Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) and Nicobar Pigeon (Caloenas nicobaricas) Messed up a bit on the flamingo, but I like the colours of the Pigeon #birdart #birds #traditionalart #art #watercolour

I forgot Bird 6 😅 So #AvianAugust Day 6: Purple Glossy Starling (Lamprotornis purpureus) My painting is not even close the beauty of this dark, shiny violet-blueish bird. I tried, but dark colours are hard with watercolour. #birdart #traditionalart #watercolour #birds #art

#AvianAugust Day 7: Painted Bunting - repost because I love this one very much #birdart #watercolour

Bird of the week 32: Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) I‘m not satisfied with these two, but okay for a day when I actually didn’t want to paint 😅 #birdart #traditionalart #watercolour #birds

#AvianAugust Day 5 : Scarlet macaw (Ara macao) Already did one at the beginning of the year, so I decided to repost it and take a break today. #birdart #traditionalart #bird #watercolour

#AvianAugust Day 4: Common Bronzewing (Phaps chalcoptera) Decided to add some gold leaf flakes to replicate the shine of the wing feathers. Thanks to @davidcsimon.bsky.social for the beautiful reference picture! #birdart #traditionalart #birds #art
