This is the abandoned Japanese theme park used by the spirits in Spirited Away. My daughter wants me to paint the big tree from Totoro next. These are great paintings to cleanse the palette during breaks on other projects. You know, can’t be an artist without 50 “works in progress “... 😂 . #ursaink #spiritedaway #spiritedawayart #spiritedawayredraw #spiritedawayfanart #ghibliredraw #ghiblifanart #ghibliaesthetic (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNz46FlAt5V/?igshid=u6dxwdp6u757

Is it spring yet where you live? I don’t mean by the calendar, but actual wildflowers and sunshine spring. . See how fancy I’m getting? I had to pose my sketchbook in my backyard like all the big art accounts. 😂😉 This is Komorebi watercolor and Arteza gouche in my 8x8” watercolor sketchbook. ✨ #ursaink #japanesewatercolor #watercolorandgouache #gouchepainting #ghiblistudy #kikisdeliveryservice #forestart #10kartist #artistcommunity #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiFagtMK0T/?igshid=1al3ktrpec8bo
#MarchMeetTheMaker ✨ FROM THE ARCHIVES 💜 Looking back through my archives I see a few digital paintings that I want to redraw. Not because they are bad, but because the learning curve for digital art is kind of steep. 💜 This particular piece would be muh better in color like this. Right now it is actually black and white. I would also add a few more feature lines around the nose. But otherwise, I still like this one very much. 💜 #ursaink @joannehawker #meetthemaker2021 #meettheartist #meettheartist2021 #fromthearchives #fromthearchive #sarahcuthillartist #marchmeetthemakerarchive #marchmakerchallenge (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfVlx5M_j2/?igshid=1pih4zqzc1cld
