Accidental brush development landscapes

Hey all, sorry for the silence - I seem to have hit a bit of a slump. I tried some traditional art a week or so ago and it was a complete disaster (I didn't even produce a failure, I gave up almost immediately because I just couldn't see what I was doing.)

Which doesn't stop me from fiddling with new brushes, hee. And doing a leasurely, low-risk digital landscape is something immensely satisfying even while you're in art slump territory. I worked exactly like I would in watercolour, all on one layer.

I did these two pieces while working on another brush set, and I'll do a little tutorial for how to easily paint these sorts of landscapes once I'm happy with the it! (It's not a landscape set, by the way; the misty mountains just happened, as did this accidental Christmas card, lol.)

I also made a few really cool water drop brushes that I can't wait to share/use.

I'm going to do a little art livetream on Discord this weekend! I'll post up the time on Discord in a bit. If you're a Forest Guardian supporter, feel free to drop by and give me ideas to draw (to replace the monthly suggestion feature).
