Army Cutworm Moth and Gulf Fritillary Butterfly Watercolor Painting
You would never guess that I have a serious bug phobia. Even if you are afraid of little bugs, it doesn’t stop you from appreciating their visual aesthetic. I like butterflies and moths. I really do. I experience great joy when making these watercolor paintings. The problem is that butterflies do not respect my personal space. It is always such a bother when bugs land on you. So, my butterfly phobia is only tactile based. Now, I am going to talk about my paintings in specific. They are based on photographs I took of my garden. My garden is located...
Five Pouring Abstract Art on Wood Acrylic Paintings
I finally got around to uploading my newest pouring painting videos. If you want to see the making of these paintings, you can check them out in my Artsy Sister Tiktok and Youtube accounts. Unlike my previous pouring paintings, these ones were made on thin pieces of wood. I do not remember what type of wood I used. I had run out of canvases, so, I used a small piece of wood instead. Those woods were part of a craft project that I forgot all about. So, I used them for pouring paintings instead. I added a bit of gesso...
Game Review: Uno, Yugioh, Pokemon, Monopoly, Chess and more
Uno card game Review I first started playing Uno when I was in middle school. My ESOL teacher did not feel like teaching us English, so she brought out this game instead.

The game was invented in 1971 by Merle Robbins from Cincinnati. The game has been a Mattel brand since 1992. The good thing about the game is that it can...
Hollow Knight The Mystery of the Fluke Hermit’s Smile Mona Lisa Painting Parody
Today, I got around to finishing my latest Hollow Knight parody. It was about time I poked fun at the Mona Lisa. It is the most famous painting in the world. It is also the one everyone parodies. So, here is my version. I chose the fluke hermit because she is just a mouth. With no eyes or nose, all you can do is focus on her mouth. I added the teeth into her smile. It is funny to imagine what the Mona Lisa’s teeth would look like. Back then, humans didn’t have good dental hygiene. In places like China,...
Restful Position Drawing Anime Pose
This is a silly anime drawing. It features a maiden reclining against something. I often practice my poses every so often. This one was made with pencils and markers. I have been thinking of giving an upgrade to my art supplies. Well, there really isn’t much to say about the drawing. I hope it inspires you to practice your poses every so often. My name is Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
