Yes! on yakihonne
Gender isn't biology, it's sociology and this is just trying to be offensive and not understanding, in which you succeeded 🥳 (i'm so sorry you got banned tho, luckily we have nostr still!)
A couple of weeks ago I shared a photo of a painting that I had started with charcoal on paper. Now it is finished! Here is the final mixed media artwork.

You can find the whole process in the gif below. I started it all with a charcoal sketch which I fixated because I had the idea to see it through to the final picture. Then I filled the subjects with watercolor and for the background I ripped and added papers and washi tape and fixed them with gesso. To pull it all together I applied more gesso to most of the piece. I did this with a foam roller to get an irregular pattern partially covering the scrap paper and washi tape.

Also with gesso and a stencil I applied two of the three butterflies and let everything dry. Next came another layer of watercolors in dark purple and blues. Once I was happy with how deep the colors were, gesso always seems to suck up watercolors a little, I traced some of the patterns and the subjects with black micron pens.
The second to last step was golden - hah - I really enjoy adorning my mixed media pieces with stars and a bit of gold. Sometimes I use leafed gold but this time it was pens. And finally, I felt like this image could do with a bit of a pattern in the moon and with a bit of glitter. This is a little hard to photograph but if you look closely you will notice it. Maybe I added a little too much but - hey, it's sparkly!
With mixed media it may seem strange that we are adding all those things to then just cover them up and paint over them. Why apply those things in the first place? Right, well, trust me when I say that there is something very cathartic about the whole process. From deciding which pieces to add to the picture, to ripping the papers to pieces, glueing everything and then bringing it together again with gesso and colors.
It is a little bit like magic. Nothing of what I added got lost but adds to the whole feel and even haptic of the picture. To me there is something wonderful to this whole process and the final product.
Maybe try it out on a smaller piece for yourself. If you have any questions at all, please ask me.
Cheers,
Oceanbee

Cool!
Welcome!!
Sounds great, I will try it out. Thank you for all the work!
Somewhere in between, I am reading The Flowering Wand, and really really loving it!
De Hageheld
in Dutch, it translates to:
the hero of the hedges
He was seemingly not very heroic, rather cute 
Hi friends of Nostr! I've been looking around here for a few weeks, trying out some things to post, but wanted to take time for a proper introduction! (There you go: #introductions)
I've just finished my studies, and am now travelling by bike with a friend, making stops where we have something to learn, to help out with, or people to visit!
I love writing, arts and crafts, ecology and a lot more stuff. Wasn't really into bitcoin, but you all got me a bit curious :)
If you got advice on who to follow or where to look, tell me!
I am really loving the concept and architecture on Nostr, it's the first social media platform that I don't absolutely loathe, yay!
