This colored pencil piece was done on a colored surface. Can you tell what color it was from the finished piece? My favorite way to use colored pencil is on a not white, textured surface. Which is a pretty unpopular opinion among colored pencil artists. I guess you could say I'm a rebel 🤣 . #arabianhorse #arab #arabian #stallion #horsedrawing #horseart #equineart #equine #equestrian #horseartist #artcollector #coloredpencildrawing #coloredpencil #prismacolor #ampersand #sunlight #crystalcookart #drawing #artoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BwRqL0kAGDe/?igshid=jhrkfrm5z4de
Sharing my two favorite swoony, lovey dovey paintings for Valentine's Day! Both are watercolor and both are sold. . I know lots of people think Valentine's Day is lame, but I think any day to celebrate love is a good day. . Love wins. Always. . #crystalcookart #watercolor #watercolour #watercolorartist #figurativeart #figurativepainting #art #watercolorpainting #artcollector #artoftheday #artist #valentinesday #couplegoals https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3j9JcgTpJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jctcfhbly22o
This has been my whole world this week. And I have loved every minute of it. I took most of the week off, unexpectedly, to care for my little boy in his recovery from his tonsil surgery. Which basically meant filling up his Harry Potter cup with apple juice, blending up slushies for him, cuddling on the couch and finding lost stuffed puppies, and trying to get him to eat popsicles like I was a dealer. It's been several years since my kids were tiny and needed me this much. I forgot how much I missed being the whole entire world to this tiny human I made. . I'm grateful for my art, and this little business I've built, that gave me a place to feel wanted and needed and find joy in creating when my kids were all in school all day and I was left not quite sure what to do with myself. I'm grateful for the flexibility to take time off when I need it. And I'm grateful for you guys, being loyal as heck and supporting me through it all. . This week I'll be working more, I have so many ideas to get to and works to finish. Thank you for giving me the time I needed with my kiddo. Love you all. Hug your family tight. #family #momlife #crystalcookart #mychild https://www.instagram.com/p/Btb4NCtgxQy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=krqx52ooizbb
Almost done with Christmas paintings! Cutting it close this year. I needed a new, large, clean palette for some fresh skin tones for a child portrait I'm painting so I pulled out one of my mom's china platters she gave me. I'm not a fancy serving platter type, but this way I'll see it every day and think of my mom. 💕 . #crystalcookart #watercolour #watercolor #watercolorportraits #watercolorportrait #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #illustration #painting #artcollector #danielsmith #arches #artist https://www.instagram.com/p/BrkhV7KAoKn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=trc629elrudi
Took a few photos of these pretty mini watercolors in their frames before they're packed up and shipped off to their new homes. (Thank you so much to my collectors!) I have to say I LOVE these mini paintings SO DANG MUCH 😍😍😍 . I'm getting more sketches ready to paint today. What should I paint next? . #crystalcookart #watercolor #watercolour #watercolorartist #arabianhorse #equineart #equine #homedecor #horsedecor #artcollector #galaxy #tinypainting #miniatureart #collectible https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsn113JA9O-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=29ah6hn5ygha
And the finished portrait of this beautiful baby girl. This is the third granddaughter I've painted for this family and I just heard they are expecting a fourth! I feel very honored to be part of capturing their story. 💗 . #crystalcookart #watercolor #watercolour #art #painting #watercolorportrait #watercolorportraits #childportrait #childportraiture #commissionartist #artcollector #aquarelle #danielsmith #arches https://www.instagram.com/p/BsejzgGgBx1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nkeldwjpevqo
Trying to balance life and work and couldn't make time for inktober for a bit. This little fox pup I actually started a week ago, and finally took a break to finish him today. I'm in a sleepy animal sketching phase. . Gonna really try to make the rest of the month for Inktober. It's my favorite month of the year! . #crystalcookart #inktober2018 #inktober #inkdrawing #sketch #drawing #dailydrawing #fox #dog #ballpointpenart #bicpenart #inkdrawings #animalart https://www.instagram.com/p/BpLKeVHgcWW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13veha3ltdkup
