🩷 90's kid and foodie. turning moments and flavors into lasting color 🫶

It had to be a quick one because I'm currently editing a class and wasn't supposed to start a portrait painting 🫣

The truth is,.. if you asked me to name 3 songs by Dolly, I wouldn't be able to. Aside from '9 to 5' I have nothing. It's not my genre 🥲

but I think Dolly was similar to Ozzy in that sense (I can name plenty of those songs btw) - even if you weren't a fan of their music, you still liked the person behind the voice. True icons🩷

And so I was still compelled to do a small painting of this real life, bedazzled barbie doll 🫶

Messy desk 🫶 Playing with color 🩷🧡💛💚 Been prepping for some green paintings as well as a few other pieces that I'm excited about 🥰

I wanted to post some aesthetic in progress shot, but moving tgis out of the way is just too much work, so you get this 😂 a true POV.

Work in progress watercolor: How many of you know what that pink wrapped bar is? 🤭 And if you do, do you happen to be danish? 😂

And I've been working on the PDF going through my watercolor and gouache supplies. Swatching the palettes is definitely taking a while but I hope it'll be useful whether you're interested in just seeing what I use, or if you're interested in the information and tips around selecting colors etc.

'Still' 🩷 the objects don't change, but the story does.

The same object can have different meaning depending on the observer. To some this is the morning after af night out, to others it's part of daily life and part of a routine. Caring for yourself or for someone else.

Still - in every meaning of the word:
A moment of quiet,. Calm..
A break from, or solution to something temporary, or something 'ongoing'.

Putting the final touches on this watercolor piece before it'll be up and available 🩷

This piece is available through my site 🩷 one of my favorites. There are certain everyday items that just have that extra little something about them, and this is one of them. An icon, a stable in the fridge/pantry and a piece of history.

This piece has been on my mind for a while and though it wasn't intended to be sad, it could definitely lean both ways.

Originally the idea was simply "one of those days",. Whether that means feeling under the weather,. Waking up after a wild night or simply a part of a daily ritual or routine... 🩷

😳I got a call from my dad a few days ago letting me know my mom had been in for surgery after falling off a ladder... Broken hip, femur and ankle...
And this may very well be part of why it felt important to paint it now.
A symbol of healing,.. 🫶

Aside from that it's also part if a recurring theme for me this year... There have been a lot of trials and obstacles, and navigating through each one isn't always easy.

But I'm curious to know what you see?

Finding the hidden color in a moment that feels grey.
It seems that this year has tested the resillience of many if us. One challenge is overcome and another is lurking around the corner.
And though that's part of the inspiration for this piece, it's not the only story 🫶

One object can have many different meanings depending on the observer 🩷 For now, and once I work my way further down this painting and reveal the pairing, I'm curious to know what it makes you think of.

🌊 Right now, it may just be a glass of water. But water symbolizes health and longevity,. Life,. Clarity,. A fresh start,. Change and so much more.

And how fitting to paint water using watercolor 😍
In progress.

Oh, and if you've seen me talk about 'learning to not hate green'. Proper Green stuff will be coming up! But if you look clisely, this does have subtle green tones 🤭

Study 🥰 the way a memory of something can be both vivid and faint/soft at the same time? Feels like it's both so within your reach yet far away 🩷 with this nostalgic glow about it 🫶

Memories are often more precious than photographs... It's not about the details, but the feeling,. The flavors..

Love how this strawberry is showing off its personality 🍓

Q&A + That obligatory selfie you take every now and again. Hey there 👋 lots of new followers lately - I guess a couple of the reels spread to a wider audience 🫠

I'm Tanja - 90's kid, foodie and the artist behind this account. You'll find me most active on instagram though I try to check up on both platforms.

Currently working on finishing up the next skillshare class as well as the PDF walk through of my supplies.

So thankful to those who's already pre-ordered 🩷
I've been receiving some questions so I thought I'd try and explain;
Basically, because I get a lot of questions regarding my supplies on all the platforms, I wanted to create something useful that has all the info in one place. I try to answer questions but I simply can't get to anyone and some questions/answers could do with more context.
Listing brands when asked "what brand of paint do you use?" simply doesn't cover it. I want to explain the 'WHY those brands' etc.
Context, ya know 🥹

The PDF will not only be a list of supplies but include additional information that may be useful to those who paint or are getting started with painting. I'm going to go over the colors in my main watercolor palette (and to some extend my other palettes) including my gouache palette.
I'll also go over:
- How I select colors
- My favorites/essentials
And show a couple of (what I consider to be) small but versatile mixing palettes.
- My brushes, paper etc.
- What I like or dislike about certain things and why I use the supplies I do.
- finishes (wax, varnish) and a few other things.

Available 🩷 This is definitely one of my favorite parts of the process - makes me fall in love with the piece all over again 🥰

Watercolor is known for it's luminousity and this maintains the look rather than change it. Once dry the wax will be buffed to a soft sheen.

Inspired by cherry season 😍 it doesn't stay around for long but you gotta enjoy those fleeting moments when they're here 🫶
