I get a lot of questions in my DMs about what supplies I use to paint and while I’m putting together a detailed blog post I figured I’d let you in on a dirty secret of mine today...I use super cheap brushes. 😬 I invest a lot in my paper and watercolors but brushes are not something I car to spend a lot on and I don’t really see the advantage, in most cases. First of all, I’m generally pretty bad at not letting my brushes sit in water, occasionally overnight and that’s terrible for the tips. Second, I lose brushes like you wouldn’t believe...no I have no idea where they go since I don’t take them out of my studio, maybe they go live with the socks that get lost on the dryer? The only time I invest in a brush is when I’m shopping for really tiny brushes, the kind that have like 10 hairs on them. And of course these are my favorite. I use them for line work especially on faces and I love using them to zen out and paint hair or fur. If you have any specific questions about brands (which is what I get asked the most) don’t worry, the blog post will detail all of that or feel free to ask below! #illustrate #illustration #drawing #painting #draw #drawings #drawingoftheday #drawsomething #artjournal #creativeprocess #sketchbook #sketch #doodle #illustrator #artistsoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #illustratorsoninstagram #wip #illustrationoftheday #creatives #doodles #art #bts #onmydesk #inthestudio #risingtidesociety #tnchustler #instagood #flashesofdelight

Snowstorm was a total bust. There’s barely anything out there and it’s lightly raining. I’m totally disappointed, but I’m staying in a painting all day anyway. Inspiration hit me yesterday like a ton of bricks and I’ve got to get done paint on paper before I burst! #illustrate #illustration #drawing #painting #draw #drawings #drawingoftheday #drawsomething #artjournal #creativeprocess #sketchbook #sketch #doodle #illustrator #artistsoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #illustratorsoninstagram #wip #illustrationoftheday #creatives #doodles #art #bts #onmydesk #inthestudio #risingtidesociety #tnchustler #instagood #flashesofdelight
Not feeling great this morning. I needed a snow day to snuggle with the kids and not have to leave the house but I guess I have to wait 24 more hours. Oh well, let’s do this Friday.

Let’s throw it back to warmer days and a time when my illustrations really started to invade my work as a stationer. This venue painting of Bonnet Island Estate in New Jersey is one of my favorite pieces from my former life. @bonnetislandestate #illustrate #illustration #venuepainting #painting #draw #drawings #drawingoftheday #drawsomething #artjournal #creativeprocess #sketchbook #sketch #doodle #illustrator #artistsoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #illustratorsoninstagram #bonnetislandestate #illustrationoftheday #creatives #doodles #art #bts #onmydesk #inthestudio #risingtidesociety #tnchustler #instagood #flashesofdelight
I’m having a rough time waking up today so I’m going to take Harry Winston’s advice and put something a little extra to get myself motivated.

Nothing to see here...just a little snippet of a work in progress...tuxedo, gold chains, red lips.
