It's May 11th. Wasn't expecting heavy layer of frost on my car this morning... Not cool.

Although we're still waiting for the warm weather and sun to pop up on a more consistent basis here in southcentral Alaska, we can dream of summer flowers! You can get your own copy of the Himalayan Poppy print at my website. artbymattias.com/product/him…

Calling all artists/painters! I've been working on a tool to mix new paint colors based on existing swatches. Initially a personal projects but figured I'd share :) Feedback welcome. Check out the preview here: artbymattias.com/pigment-mix… #artists #painters #tools

The cold and sunny weather we had today reminded me of this painting from last year. Based on a photo from GPRA on a sunny, snowy and cold day. It turned into a beautiful painting too... #coldsnap #Alaska #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #palmeralaska

Next steps for this painting, the rocks on the right. These will be quite time-consuming, but if you look at the close-up for the area below the tree on the left, once it's all done, it'll be worth it. What do you think so far? #paintingprocess #AlaskaArt

Our journey through the wilderness continues with much of the tree line filled in (one of the more time intensive aspects) and our wildlife blocked in, just to get a sense of shape and where our friend is going to hang out. #paintingprocess #gouache #Alaska #wildlife #painting

With this painting, as with most other paintings, I started with the sky and the clouds, then moved on to the basic shape of the peak sticking up through the clouds. #Painting #art #Alaska #paintingprocess

My first fall painting was intended to be my last summer painting. I guess it can be both? Vibrant, potted sunflowers that will brighten up any corner of your home. artbymattias.com/work/sunflo… #sunflower #gouachepainting #gouache #flowers #gouache #watercolor
