A romantasy inspired sketch for Valentine's Day.🍃

The story of The Frog Prince tells of a young prince cursed to live as a frog. Neglected for his appearance, he dwells by a shadowy pond until a compassionate princess encounters him and transforms him back into a prince with a true love’s kiss.👑 Oil on canvas , 15x15 cm.

I’ve begun a series of small oil paintings that I plan to display on my table at upcoming conventions. The first painting in the series is ‘The Frog Prince’. 15x15 cm, oil on canvas.

One of my favourite projects this year was illustrating the cover and chapter illustrations for Camilla Andrew’s @inkwellofnectar superb fantasy novel ‘When the Stars Alight’. I hope next year will bring many more exciting projects and lots of new art.

Only 24 hours left to get the beautiful ‘Mystic Glade’ fantasy art and tutorial book.✨ I also did a step by step oil painting tutorial for this book. I hope you check it out if you are an artist or a fan of fantasy art! kickstarter.com/projects/jodie…

There’s still time to get the Mystic Glade fantasy art and tutorial book! I also made an oil painting tutorial for this book. I hope you check it out! kickstarter.com/projects/jodie…

Adding gloss varnish to an oil painting is one of my favourite things. You can find a tutorial of how I painted this ‘The Pink Fairy‘ painting in the Mystic Glade art book that is now available on Kickstarter: blackfoxpress.com/mysticglade

Some of my Halloween themed oil paintings 🍂🍁

It’s already Halloween in my painting studio.🍂🍁 #oilpainting

For a final touch to an oil painting, I like to use Lasur White paint by Mussini. It’s a very transparent bluish white, that gives a wonderful misty glow. I like to apply the Lasur White paint with a soft brush, and then blend it with an even softer brush.

Welcome to my autumn picnic. We’ll be having pumpkin cake, sugar cookies and hot apple cider. #oilpainting

Because look how cute she is 🥺
