It's really hard to find a good non-animal hair mop brush (they're usually squirrel hair.) I finally found 1 after seeing another artist using it on Instagram

It's an Escoda 1530, size 10. It holds paint & a point so well. Magical. 💖🖌️💖

Cryptic Cards Week 41: 7 of Clubs

This week’s card is based on the shape of Sematura luna; a sematurid moth of the cloud forests. This species of moth has very intricate patterns on its wings, and it was a challenge to keep my painting cryptic and not add too much detailing. I’m definitely going to come back to some of these moths so I can paint them again after this project!

The first video from the recent recordings made as tests ahead of the crowd-funding is up. Its the 2 of spades mentioned last week; ~7hrs painting compressed into 3 minutes! It’s got audio of my artist’s commentary. Find it here.

Anyway on to the next card and crowd funding tasks with me! Till next time, have a great week all!
