I really like how the fabrics are rendered at the bottom of this drawing. Great line work.

I'm an artist and web developer living in BC, Canada (on the traditional land of the shishalh people). I love art, cats, chocolate, European pastries, painting and gardening, and I'm passionate about preserving the biodiversity of life on Earth.
Da Wizard@soot-artist.bsky.social · 7mo agoTook me a few moments before I noticed the subtle face hidden in the rocks!
Atlas@cowboyatlas.bsky.social · 7mo agoLast day of #ArtAdventCalendar !! Had a great time doing this challenge, was awesome finding so many new artists Congrats to everyone who participated :)) #art #illustration #fantasyart #BRart
A striking black and white photo of Glasgow. I love strong light-dark contrasts in art. Makes for a dramatic visual.
Samuel Benjamin@samuelxl5.bsky.social · 7mo ago#ArtAdventCalendar Day 25: "You're Never Really Alone" One of my absolute favorite photos I've ever taken, a lucky street shot in Glasgow. Merry Christmas!
Day 24 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. An abstract that I call "Still a Ray of Hope". (I hope that's still true in these days of advancing climate change.) The white bit is unpainted canvas and the painting wraps around the edges. Size 24 x 24 inches. Oil on canvas.
Day 23 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. My art school graduation project (years ago): a painting of a pedestrian pier in the town near my home. I've removed the hand railings for a more streamlined composition. Something like 30 x 40 inches. Oil on canvas.
It's amazing how things can be rendered so accurately with solid areas of patterned paper. I love the dog's expression on this.
dr. e. katherine@actualkatherine.bsky.social · 8mo ago#ArtAdventCalendar Day 21 (see, I'm doing it): A sweet local doggo named Daikon. 7"x9" maybe??, November 2022
I like how the papers, paint and stitching are combined to make this mixed media artwork on canvas.
Giselle General (she/her)@gisellegeneral.bsky.social · 8mo ago#ArtAdventCalendar Day 22: My first mixed media art from almost 10 years ago, where I repurchased a canvas and I stitched actual embroidery thread! It was fun!
Hard to believe these aren't real tree trunks! Especially that one on the right. At first I thought it was a reference photo...
The Amber Lady@theamberlady.bsky.social · 8mo agoA project I'm hugely proud of are these concrete trees. Center pole is a telephone pole, branches a friend welded from bed frames. But the rest is concrete textured with a drywall screw and painted with concrete stain. They look even better in person #artAdventCalendar #nature #artsky
Day 22 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. A 6 x 6 inch painting of a creek rushing down rocks. Oil on canvas. This is one of a set of three paintings of creeks and rocks with the same size, colours and style.
Day 21 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. Another painting of a BC Ferries funnel, created back when I was taking the ferry to and from art school. This one is more graphic in style than the one I shared earlier this month. Something like 24 x 36 inches. Oil on canvas.
What a sweet portrait of this primate. The quality of light is beautiful.

What an evocative clay sculpture. I wonder what it will look like once the glaze firing is complete?
Sarah @tahtah.bsky.social · 8mo ago#ArtAdventCalendar Portrait head in clay, glazed but not yet fired
Day 20 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. A small painting of an imaginary hillside with a few remaining tall evergreen trees. About 7 x 5 inches. Oil on canvas.
Day 19 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. This is "Helping Out". 7 x 5 inches oil on canvas. Shown framed and sitting on concrete steps.
Day 18 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. An older painting of an imaginary mountain range. I grew up on the slopes of mountains on the North Shore of Vancouver BC. This painting harks back to those. Oil on canvas-covered board. Something like 11 x 14 inches.
Which is the real one, indeed! That felted creation is amazingly accurate. (And very cute, with the tongue hanging out.)
Jacqui@jacquinotmybag.bsky.social · 8mo agoDay 19 #ArtAdventCalendar so a piece of 3D art for you today but which is the real one? #dogs #terrier #dogminiatures #scottishartist #needlefelt
Day 17 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. Oil paint on canvas, with a glossy medium. About 16 x 20 inches. I called it "Deep Beneath the Soil". Made it years ago, and was delighted when it sold through the local gallery's members show. Still one that I love.
Day 16 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. This painting came out of a week long workshop where, for one project, we were encouraged to paint a 'map' of something. I choose a local marina. There are orange docks, white boats and a blue line representing the edge of the shore.
Look at how this painting glows! Some day I'd like to try pastels.
Suz@suzspetals.bsky.social · 8mo agoDay 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar - pastel study of a still life.
What a gorgeous, glassy red surface this ceramic creation has. And those dots! I bet this was pretty tricky to make and a bit nerve-wracking to put into the kiln.

Art advent calendar is rocking the fibre arts this year! So many great creations, like this needle felted cat.
Jacqui@jacquinotmybag.bsky.social · 8mo agoDay 16 #ArtAdventCalendar today I give to you a #cat in a #hibs scarf. I needlefelted this guy about 2years ago. #catsofbluesky #needlefelt #petportraits #Scottishartists
Wow... Check out the incredibly detailed stitching in this thread painting. I really like how graphic the style is.
Sutis@sutis.bsky.social · 8mo ago#ArtAdventCalendar day 16 After a comfy vacation I made the most time consuming piece, it took around a month to complete it & I am so-so proud + I'm so glad that a dear friend has it!💖
Day 15 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar. One of many paintings I've made that have just a flat landscape and a sky. I enjoy playing with the brushmarks and colours with this simple composition.
