Alex’s Art Studio
Hi everyone! 🤎 Welcome to our little Patreon group!
I’m really excited to have a more casual space where I can share things that don’t always make it into my regular Patreon posts — little behind-the-scenes moments, ongoing projects I’m working on, reference photos for painting, and some life updates along the way.
I’d also love for this to feel like a cozy space where we can chat, exchange ideas, and simply share our love for painting. 🎨
And I thought I’d start with something very exciting for me: my new wooden palette! 🥹
I’ve been thinking about which colors to put in it, and in my next message I’ll show you the paints I picked from my tubes to fill it with.
And I’d love to hear from you too — which colors do you include in your limited palette? 🤎
Do you participate in art challenges? 🌸
I think they’re such a great way to motivate yourself to paint more, try something new, and tackle subjects you probably wouldn’t choose on your own. And, of course, they’re also a fun opportunity to have your work discovered by other artists when you share it with the challenge hashtag.
I recently came across this floral challenge from Canson and decided to paint at least some of the flowers. I’ve already painted a ranunculus and prepared a sketch for a dahlia.
It’s going to be fun painting all those petals 😅🌸
Here’s the reference I’m using if you’d like to join me!
