It's finished! Wicked Swamp, 5x7", acrylic on wood (plaque). This was started a while ago but I didn't really put much into it until recently. I will update with a better scanned photo once it's available for sale. #acrylic #painting #darkart #witchy #dark #wicked #swamp #art #artwork #art🎨 #artoftheday #moon #moonart #crystals #crystalart #geode #witchcraft #halloween #halloweenart #grim #thegrimpainter #joebouchardart

Another preview. I'm really excited for this one, I can't wait to work on it more later. **the branches seen were sketched & planned on my tablet. Everything else is the actual painting so far** #WIP #surrealart #surrealism #moon #moonart #geodes #swamp #wetlands #landscape #painting #acrylicpainting #thegrimpainter #joebouchardart #halloween

#WIP preview. 🌲🔮

These two paintings are pretty much a year apart. I gave @sarahlyons_ the larger of the two last year before she moved in to school. Today I sold her Lunar Cryst. (smaller painting) it's awesome to see the difference a year makes. My style is pretty much the same but I've gotten so much better with contrast and color, which I can see now. My gratitude towards my friends who have supported me is unwavering. There are several of you and if you read this, you're what keep me going! This motivates me to keep growing and progressing, maybe one day I could live on it! (Hah)

Never realized how hard a realistic moon is to paint. Well, I like what happened anyways. Okay, now it's done. I think. Gotta let it dry to varnish it. #acrylic #acrylicpainting #moon #moonart #surreal #surrealart #surrealism #landscape #landscapeartist #darkart #originalart #trees #misty #occult #purpleart #painting #art🎨 #art #artist #artlife #artworkdaily #joebouchardart #thegrimpainter #paintingonwood #artsagram

Here's a better picture of the Chatoyant Moon.

This one just came in and is definitely my favorite. Can't wait to draw/paint it! #crystal #quartz #quartzcluster #titaniumquartz #druzy #crystalgems

Since I did a drawing of my rainbow moonstone, I decided I'd do one of the regular smooth moonstone I have. Soft pastel on recycled paper, which holds the pastel really nicely. #art #artist #artwork #artoftheday #pleinair #moon #moonstone #sketch #sketches #drawing #painting #pastel #softpastel #softpastels #pastelart #gems #crystals #minerals #rocks #observation #observationaldrawing #stilllife #stones #thegrimpainter #joebouchardart #joebouchard

Watercolor sketch of my large rough quartz point. Not bad but it's messy.

First decent sketch on my new drawing tablet! Another crystal ball but it's different I suppose. I was playing with the different tools and like what happened within the ball.

[thegrimpainter-blog]

Red crystal ball in a tarnished candle holder. It's a little off but 🤷🏻‍♂️ I rushed it.

Moon Tower, Watercolor.

Watercolor painting I made of the Astral Shard from Final Fantasy XV. It was originally going to have only the shadows of the guys in the sand, but I didn't want to pull too much attention away from the Shard. I decided just to put simple Chocobo tracks.
