Hi there! Thank you! It’s actually pastel and pencil crayon… I was experimenting with the combo. 😊It’s 60 x 40 cms… I find oils the most comfortable medium… maybe because it’s more forgiving than pencil crayons 😂

Thank you!

Beautiful!

That last part really hit me—the idea of recognising yourself in someone else's work. It’s comforting to know that even the 'fragile' or 'non-linear' parts of life can be turned into something tangible and meaningful. Thank you for sharing this perspective!

A while ago, I finished this study of Coin de Mire in the distance. I used this piece to experiment with combining pencil crayons and soft pastels, which was challenging but fun. Capturing the specific texture and depth of the black volcanic rocks in the foreground definitely pushed me! WIP sketch in the reply. #artstr #artonnostr #creative #ProofOfWork #WIP

Love electric lines in the sky! 👏

An emerging Nostrich willing to learn all I can with this beautiful platform. Looking forward to sharing my art and art journey with you all!

Here is the WIP! #WIP

I like this…digital tribalism in motion! 🙌

Wonderful pic! Thank you 😊

THANK YOU!

Thanks so much! Lots of useful info here…

Cap Malheureaux watercolour sketch My second post here – today a plein air watercolour sketch of stillness. I’ve always found water the most difficult thing to capture! But here, under the grey, it finally felt like it stopped moving … Where does it feel like time settles for you? #artstr #newnostr #artonnostr #asknostr

I love the garden analogy… I’m learning the ropes but it’s a huge relief to focus on building a presence rather than chasing follower counts. Thanks for the feedback … I’ll definitely take your advice to show more behind-the-scenes work. I like your style very much btw… it’s intentional and resonates with me! I look forward to seeing more of it and to following your progress!

Love the mood and atmosphere of your paintings…

Re-sharing my intro with the right tags! I’m an artist who works in oils, sometimes exploring ink and watercolour. I am drawn to African landscapes and urbanscapes, and the quiet moments where time seems to settle – sunlight on surfaces, shadows through trees, or the stillness in between. My aim is to let each painting quietly invite reflection and connection. My first painting is of a little run-down shop in Triolet, a town in Mauritius. I was fascinated by the cheerfulness of the scene which seemed to sing with vibrancy despite the decaying façade! As a new Nostrich, I am also curious: What are the best ways for artists to thrive here? Are there specific tools I should be using to share my work? Looking forward to your advice! #introductions #artstr #artonnostr #nostr #asknostr
