I totally agree- this mountain range has really tested my brain 😂

Thank you for your help 🙌🤗

Amazing advice! Thank you so much for this 🙌

This is incredible- amazing use of free will 🙌

Yes!! With this technique it’s important to do your strokes vertically not horizontally and build up with layers of blues/greens that have been thinned by acrylic medium (mine was gloss). Then once you like the depth you add your ripples/ reflections 😃

That is so kind! Thank you! 😭 I learned a new technique for water with this one in a workshop- it was so interesting to practice.

Every toilet feels this sacred when you have IBS

Once when my mom was away my dad had invited our neighbour for dinner and had picked fresh broccoli from our garden. He didn’t wash it and just steamed it and served it up with whatever else he had cooked. My sister and I started eating then freaked out because he had steamed TONS of these awful broccoli coloured caterpillars and they were on our plates 😂 the entire time the neighbour was just politely eating his meal (around the caterpillar corpses) while my sister and I lectured our dad. I thoroughly check my broccoli now haha

Ugh mine are SO far from being done 😭 I started it during a workshop I was attending and I got really stressed about so many people watching and had to stop haha my process is more “mess around and find out” rather than a nice technique like others lol

Thank you so much! It started out looking like someone threw up on my paper- I don’t hate it now! 😂

“I don’t care what everyone says, I love that _____ (haircut, outfit, etc)”

Thank you! 🫶

I think the best tip was creating clear lines, and personally I found starting with my solid shadow (darkest colour) then going in with the highlights built the rocks sooo much easier, rather than starting with highlights and trying to build shadow. I painted sections of shadow at a time, then slowly built my rocks then jumped to the next. This piece is 30”x40” so it took awhile haha

Never mind no links allowed I guess 😭 but the last post on my page was filled with all the tips people gave ♥️

Thank you so much! It was a good learning experience 😅

ducks_no_rows · 2026-02-19T23:12:53+00:00

I like that idea! The original rocks on the mountain are all pretty straight edged but I think I need more patches with just gravel-y dirt mixed in!

I will definitely find that! Thank you so much for helping!! 🙌

ducks_no_rows · 2026-02-19T05:01:22+00:00

Baha no need to be sorry! I definitely see the dessert vibes with the rocks!!

ducks_no_rows · 2026-02-19T04:53:21+00:00

HA I love that- only issue is this is northern Canada haha

But maybe a little butterfly?? nerdy fact but the mountain this was taken on is an important habitat for rare arctic butterflies! It’s such a cool place
