Sometimes landscapes feel too big to capture, but I love the challenge of translating them into my sketchbook. 🌄 This piece is all about contrasts – the dark, heavy mountains against the soft light in the valley, and that dramatic sky above it all. Even though the weather and light haven’t made it easy to photograph lately, I still enjoy sharing these little windows into my painting process. 🎨✨ @pithsupply @roman_szmal_art ⸻ #sketchbookart #landscapepainting #watercolorlandscape #mountainpainting #artpractice #paintinginspiration #artistsoninstagram #creativeprocess

Hey everyone 👋, it’s been a little while since my last post, but I’ve definitely been busy painting. I’ve already finished several new pieces 🎨, though getting good photos has been a challenge – one moment it’s cloudy, the next the sun is too bright, and the light is never quite right. Out of all the shots I took, this is the one that worked best 🌿. Inspired by @mariibyrd @drawdailytogether

Cluttered workspace, creativity in progress 🤗

Light breaking through the valley ✨ Love how watercolor captures atmosphere with just a few washes 💛💙💚 #watercolorlandscape #watercolorpainting #creativejourney #natureinspiredart

Playing around with oil pastels! @drawdailytogether week #31 @dorotdraws #drawdailytogether

These rocks were such a joy to paint – and I owe it all to the amazing tutorial from @olamozej 🥰 It really helped me to see shapes, light and shadows in a new way. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making this such a beautiful learning experience! I used @archespapers and @roman_szmal_art + @winsorandnewton watercolors. 🎨✨ #watercolor #watercolorpainting #landscapepainting #seascapepainting #rockpainting #oceanart #natureinspiredart #creativeprocess #artlesson #artstudy #artistsoninstagram #artcommunity #artoftheday #watercolorartist #paintingrocks #coastalart #artprogress #creativejourney

✨ Week 180 — Totara, Auckland ✨ I really enjoyed painting this week’s prompt for #landscapeartclub180. The rolling fields, golden grass, and hay bales immediately reminded me of late summer calmness. 🌾 @landscapeartclub I tried to play with the Rule of Thirds, placing the hay bales and tree as focal points to bring balance and structure into the scene. It was fun to explore how just a small shift in composition can completely change the mood of a painting. 🎨 How do you use composition rules in your own art? #landscapeartclub #landscapeartclub_prompt #landscapepaintingchallenge #painttogether #artprompt #ruleofthirds #paintingpractice #artchallengecommunity #newzealandlandscape #weeklyartchallenge

Week 28 – @drawdailytogether A quiet little lake hidden in the woods 🌿 From nature → to watercolor, not as a copy but as a feeling. Thanks to @fioletowacytryna for the beautiful reference photo ✨ #DrawDailyTogether #week28 #watercolor #romanzmalaquarius #watercolorlandscape #hesterpaints #natureinspired

This tutorial by Lena challenged me to work with fewer colors than I normally would. Surprising how freeing it actually feels! Almost done ✨ @lenamoz #limitedcolorpalette #watercolor @roman_szmal_art

Week 30 of @drawdailytogether ✨ Thanks to @smidovalucia for her beautiful reference photo 💛 This week’s scene was such a peaceful mountain view. Instead of keeping it realistic, I softened the atmosphere with pink and purple tones and let the landscape turn into something more dreamy. 🌿🎨 I love how painting allows me to take inspiration from reality and then let my imagination take over. 💭 Would you have kept it realistic or also played with colors? ⸻ 🌸 Nederlands Week 30 van #drawdailytogether ✨ Dank aan @smidovalucia voor haar prachtige referentiefoto 💛 Het berglandschap van deze week straalde zoveel rust uit. In plaats van het realistisch te schilderen, heb ik de sfeer verzacht met roze en paarse tinten en het landschap een meer dromerige uitstraling gegeven. 🌿🎨 Wat ik zo mooi vind aan schilderen is dat je start vanuit de werkelijkheid, maar daarna je fantasie de vrije ruimte krijgt. 💭 Zou jij het realistisch houden of ook met kleuren spelen?

What do you think of my oil pastel drawing? I find it too busy – what about you? @drawdailytogether @veravlaming #drawdailytogether #adviceneeded #oilpastelpainting

🌸 English Hi, I’m Hester 👋 By day I work as a functional application manager in local government – structure, processes and problem-solving are part of my daily world. 📊 But beyond that, I’m a neurodivergent who finds balance in art. 🎨 I paint, draw and love exploring different mediums – from pastels to gouache and pencils. I’m still searching for my own style, and sometimes I get creatively blocked. On those days I keep it simple: just a small pencil sketch ✏️ – no pressure, just staying in touch with my creativity. My dream? To bring these worlds together: ✨ Combining creativity with neurodiversity ✨ Sharing my perspective through art ✨ One day opening a webshop where my art doesn’t just fill a space, but also touches someone’s heart It may sound like opposites – analytical by day, intuitive by night – but as a neurodivergent artist this contrast makes life rich and complete. 🌿 Thanks for being here – let’s inspire each other along the way! 💛 ⸻ 🌸 Nederlands Hoi, ik ben Hester 👋 Overdag werk ik als functioneel beheerder bij de overheid – structuur, processen en het oplossen van vraagstukken zijn mijn dagelijkse wereld. 📊 Daarnaast ben ik neurodivergent en vind ik in kunst mijn balans. 🎨 Ik schilder, teken en ontdek graag verschillende materialen – van pastelkrijt tot gouache en potlood. Ik ben nog steeds op zoek naar mijn eigen stijl, en soms voel ik geen inspiratie. Op die dagen houd ik het klein: een schetsje met potlood ✏️ – zonder druk, gewoon in contact blijven met mijn creativiteit. Mijn droom? Om deze werelden samen te brengen: ✨ Creativiteit combineren met neurodiversiteit ✨ Mijn perspectief delen via kunst ✨ Op termijn een webshop openen waar mijn kunst niet alleen een ruimte vult, maar ook iemands gevoel raakt Het klinkt misschien als tegenpolen – analytisch overdag, intuïtief ’s avonds – maar juist als neurodivergent kunstenaar maakt die combinatie mijn leven rijk en compleet. 🌿 Fijn dat je hier bent – laten we elkaar onderweg inspireren! 💛

My take on #landscapeartclub179 🌲✨ I really enjoyed painting the colors and atmosphere, especially the light coming through the scene. The cabin didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted, but the rest of the painting makes me happy 💜 Every piece is part of the learning journey! #landscapeartclub #watercolorlandscape #artpractice #quietcreativity #pinkart #schilderij #paintingoftheday #kunstmetkleur

Grey tones, but somehow they feel just right for the season ahead 🍂✨ I loved painting this moody sky and the winding path through the landscape. What do you think of this piece?

🌿 This drawing grew little by little — just a few minutes at a time. Even on days I was tired, I kept coming back to it. And I think… it’s finished now.

I’ve been working on this drawing for a few hours now — getting completely absorbed in the rhythm of the lines and the bold colors. 🌳✨ This piece was inspired by the incredible Julia Avisar @julie.avisar , who continues to be a huge creative role model for me. Her fearless use of color encourages me to explore, play, and trust the process. 🎨 I’m using a mix of Luminance and Polychromos colored pencils in my beloved Moleskine sketchbook — the paper holds up beautifully. Still a work in progress, but I’m really enjoying where it’s going.

Draw Daily Together @drawdailytogether – week 13 This is my version of the photo prompt from @lenamoz , created with Gallery oil pastels on Paint-On paper (21 x 29 cm). It took me about 3 hours, and I truly enjoyed every minute of it. I really love working with oil pastels — the creamy texture and rich colors make it such a joyful medium to explore! #drawdailytogether #oilpastel #galleryoilpastels #pastelart #artchallenge #dailyart #creatingwithjoy #landscapepainting #treeart #vangoghvibes #hesterpaints

A colorful path in pastel @drawdailytogether I started this painting back in February, inspired by a reference photo from Draw Daily Together—though I can’t quite remember which one it was. Finished it today, finally! It’s made with soft oil pastels on a 26 x 19 cm surface. I really enjoyed the process—almost like sculpting with color, shaping the path and flowers with soft pressure and layered textures. #softoilpastels #pastelart #drawdailytogether #landscapepainting #impressionism #expressionism #colorfulart #artpractice #dailyart #creativejourney #artistsoninstagram

Haven’t posted in ages! I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Instagram. Sometimes I don’t feel like sharing anything at all, and then suddenly I feel like showing what I’ve been creating. So here it is: a painting I made recently with acrylics. Built up in layers, this one turned into something abstract — and I really enjoyed just letting it flow without overthinking. Curious what you see in it or how it makes you feel. Also wondering: are you thinking about switching platforms with everything going on around Meta lately? I’ve been hearing more and more people talk about alternatives… #abstractart #acrylicpainting #intuitiveart #layeredpainting #artpractice #artistsoninstagram

Exploring color and texture with oil pastels! 🎨✨ I created this piece using Mungyo Gallery oil pastels, inspired by the beautiful works of @julie.avisar . I love how expressive and bold pastels can be! This took me about two hours, and I really enjoyed experimenting with vibrant colors and layering techniques. What do you think? Do you enjoy working with oil pastels? Let’s share inspiration! 😊 #OilPastelArt #MungyoGallery #JuliaAvisar #ColorfulArt #ExpressivePainting #ArtInspiration #KeepCreating #mungyo

“Feeling inspired! 🎨✨ This piece was inspired by the amazing work of @julie.avisar , whose art always sparks my creativity. I wanted to challenge myself to explore similar textures and colors, and I loved the process of bringing this to life!

Day 2 of @januarydailyart ! ✏️✨ A quick drawing with Luminance pencils in my Moleskine sketch album. Keeping it simple and enjoying the process! #Moleskine #PencilDrawing #JanuaryDailyArt #JoyJenStudio #ArtChallenge #Practicing #KeepCreating

Finally happy with the end result! 🎨✨ This painting is part of the @januarydailyart challenge by Joy Jen Studio. I took my time with this one, working on it over several days. At first, I thought it wouldn’t come together, but layer by layer, it slowly transformed into something I really like. What do you think? 😊 #JanuaryDailyArt #JoyJenStudio #ArtChallenge #CreativeJourney #PaintingProcess #TrustTheProcess #keepcreating

Week 1 of the @drawdailytogether challenge! 🎨✨ Thank you for the beautiful reference photo, @olamozej . I’m not the only one who loves this image—such a great inspiration to draw! 🖊️ This is just a small 5x5 cm study because im not feeling well but I still wanted to keep creating! #DrawDailyTogether #ArtChallenge #PencilDrawing #SketchingNature #CreativeJourney #SmallStudies #SickDaySketch #beginnerartist

Day 31/31 🥳🥳🥳 I can’t believe @lenamoz January challenge is over! It was such a joy to take part in. Thank you, Lena, for all the beautiful reference photos and the stories you shared! 🥰 What I’ve learned is that creating something every day feels really rewarding. However, I still haven’t figured out my style or which medium I love the most. What I do know is that architecture often feels too complicated for me, making it hard to relax while painting. I struggle to simplify the image, probably because my brain focuses too much on details—and perfectionism gets in the way. Maybe I also can’t find my style because I have trouble looking at my work objectively. Have you noticed anything in my paintings that stands out or looks good? I’d love to hear your thoughts! 😊 This last photo prompt was a huge frustration for me—I tried to recreate it five times and I still don’t like how this version turned out… 😩 But I guess that’s part of the process, right? Learning to accept the imperfect and keep going. I’ve decided to keep going and try to draw or paint every day. The reference photos from Joy Jen’s January @joyjenstudio challenge are also really inspiring, so I might focus on those next—along with the @drawdailytogether prompts! 🎨✨ #dailyartflow2025 #artchallenge #creativejourney #findingmystyle #drawdailytogether #joyjenart #artpractice #learningeveryday #trusttheprocess #drawdailytogether #januarydailyart

Day 29 of 31!!! Today was a struggle😩. I started drawing the building, but the perspective was really difficult. So instead, I painted the tree and an impressionistic house! 🎨✨ Some days are just about going with the flow. Almost at the finish line! @lenamoz #dailyartflow2025 #day29 #artchallenge #creativejourney #gouachepainting #luminancepencils #mixedmediaart #impressionisticart

Day 28 of 31 Maybe practice really does make perfect! 😄 Finally managed to get the perspective of the street and buildings right on paper—so happy with this one! 🎨✨ @lenamoz #dailyartflow2025 #day28 #artchallenge #creativejourney #perspectivepractice #urbanart #mixedmediaart

Day 25 of 31 Today, I decided to revisit my soft pastels, and this is the result! 🎨✨ I loved working on the contrast between the vibrant blue water and the rocky textures. It’s always fun to see how these colors blend so effortlessly. Thank you @lenamoz for the inspiring photo of Lagos, Portugal!

Day 23 of 31 So far, I’m still keeping up! But today’s painting didn’t turn out as I’d hoped. Instead, I tried recreating yesterday’s reference photo, and that worked out much better. I also sketched the man from today’s reference photo—it almost looks like he’s peeing in the wild, haha! 😅 #dailyartflow2025 #dailyartchallenge #artpractice #mixedmediafun #sketchbookdrawing @lenamoz

Day 22/31 A quick sketch today because I’m not feeling well. Beautiful reference photo from @lenamoz #dailyartflow2025 #dailyartchallenge #quicksketch #artpractice

Day 20 and 21 of the #dailyartflow2025 challenge from @lenamoz. Still struggling painting buildings 🤔

19/31 A quick painting today because it’s the weekend, and I want to practice with different mediums, styles, and techniques. Have a nice Sunday! 😄 @lenamoz #dailyartflow2025 #dailyartchallenge #neocolor2 #sketchbookdrawing #artpractice

A quick and small painting of trees with gouache, neo colors and luminance pencils. I’m happy about the result. Also from the #dailyartflow2025 challenge form @lenamoz

Day 18 of 31 After quite a few sketches, this is the best version. I’m not completely satisfied—it doesn’t really speak to me. But it was still a great practice! 😃🎨 @lenamoz #31daychallenge #dailyartflow2025 #creativejourney #artpractice #mixedmediaart #valencia #luminancepencils

Day 17/31 second attempt☺️#dailyartflow2025 @lenamoz

I must confess, I cheated a little and looked up the painting @lenamoz made from her reference photo. 😅 It definitely made it easier to choose the color blocks! Day 17/31, and I’m still enjoying this challenge every single day! 🎨✨ #artchallenge #dailyartflow2025 #creativejourney #mixedmediaart #inspiredbyart #neocolor2 #gouachepainting #sketchbookpractice

Yeah!! We’re over halfway through, and what a beautiful reference photo from @lenamoz again! I spent 1.5 hours working on this stunning landscape. I used a variety of materials: gouache, soft pastels, Neocolors, and pencils. On to tomorrow! 🎨✨ #artchallenge #creativejourney #mixedmedia #dailyartflow2025 #landscapeart #unisonpastels #neocolor2 #holbeingouache

Day 15 of 31 of the #dailyartflow2025 challenge from @lenamoz. I mainly used Caran d’Ache Neocolors for this piece. The painting looks quite different in real life compared to the photograph, but I’m still happy with how it turned out! Do you ever feel like your artwork changes in photos? #ArtChallenge #CreativeJourney #CaranDAche #Neocolors #MixedMedia #DailyArtFlow2025

Day 14 of 31 I started with lots of enthusiasm, but the end result is always different from what I envisioned. I had hoped to keep more white spaces, but I’m not entirely dissatisfied. I’m curious to see @lenamoz next reference photo—it feels like an advent calendar every morning: what’s behind the next door? 🎄 It’s amazing how everyone is sticking with it so well. I can’t wait to see if we all make it to the end! 😊 #31DayChallenge #CreativeJourney #dailyartflow2025 #ArtChallenge #mixedmediaart

Today is Day 13 of 31 #dailyartflow2025 @lenamoz Today, I went for a loose approach and focused on experimenting with different techniques. The tones and color values aren’t completely accurate, but it was so much fun playing with textures and adding soft pastels to my painting. Happy with the process! How do you like to experiment with your art? 🎨✨ #31DayChallenge #CreativeJourney #SoftPastels #coloredpencil #ExperimentingWithArt #dailyartflow2025 #mixedmediaart

Yesterday was Day 12/31 of the challenge from @lenamoz. This building was quite a challenge for me to draw. I feel like I erased and redrew it at least 100 times! Still not completely satisfied, but it’s good enough to share, haha. Have you ever struggled with a drawing like this? #31DayChallenge #CreativeJourney #SketchPractice #DrawingChallenge #dailyartflow2025 #mixedmediaart

Day 11/31 of the #dailyartflow2025. Two versions this time😃. My daughter loved the picture of @lenamoz and wanted to paint with soft pastels! See the results 🤩.

Day 9 of #dailyartflow2025 🌿 Inspired by a stunning photo by @lenamoz , taken in the breathtaking landscapes of Norway. Nature truly is the best muse! ✨ #sketchbook #landscapeart #neocolor #norway #artjourney #mixedmediaart

Reminder: stop earlier‼️ As usual, I went on for too long. I thought there wasn’t enough contrast, which might have been true, but now I’ve ruined it 😅. I started big on A4 paper, but I’m so tired 🥱 (my son had nightmares last night) that I later thought: what am I doing to myself? Haha. Then I grabbed my small sketchbook from Royal Talens, and that felt much better. The first photo I like the most, which one do you prefer? When I have more energy, I’ll give it another try because Lena’s reference photo is simply idyllic 😍. Day 8/31 of the #dailyartflow2025 challenge by @lenamoz

Day 7 of 31 of the challenge from @lenamoz Today, I decided to experiment with different mediums! I used my Sennelier soft pastels, added water, and then layered the piece with Koh-i-Noor colored pencils. The result wasn’t exactly what I envisioned, but it was such a fun way to step out of my comfort zone and try something new! What are your thoughts on mixing mediums? 🌟 #dailyartflow2025 #CreativeJourney #SoftPastels #MixedMedia #ExperimentingWithArt #kohinorpencils

Day 6/31 #dailyartflow2025 @lenamoz inspired by Vincent Van Gogh

While watching Lena’s @lenamoz newest post on Patreon, I immediately wanted to get started and paint one of her landscapes. The last photo is a print screen of her painting.

You don’t see this landscape in the Netherlands, thanks to @smidovalucia for the beautiful reference photo en @drawdailytogether for organizing!!

My take on the reference photo of @lenamoz of the @drawdailytogether challenge. Not completely satisfied, too much details🫣. Does anyone have any tips on how I can learn to paint fewer details? It’s always such a struggle when I’m painting landscapes. Thanks in advance ❤️

I’m very behind with the @drawdailytogether challenge. I didn’t feel good for a few days after an osteopathy threatment and yesterday we had a family day. This was a really quick drawing with #neocolorii . Thanks to @tiny_little_neon for the reference photo ☺️. Have a nice day!
