So this is it! After months of work, and after 3 different attempts, I somehow finished my entry for the Archibald’s. It seems so simple- create a painting of a person. I do that every day... well, for many different reasons, this artwork challenged me in ways I did not expect. I’m not expecting a win or even to be shortlisted, I’m just proud to say: I, Liz Pepper, have entered the Archibald Prize. Thanks to everyone who supported me through the creative journey and helped me through a new process, especially @tracieeaton for being my muse. The Archibald’s have sadly been postponed due to Covid-19 but that’s okay- we have something to look forward to.
Stay tuned for a photo of the framed artwork.
Comment a 🥰 if you can spot my helper

Okay so here’s something for you if you’re feeling a bit down with all the craziness that’s going on right now. I finally finished this portrait of my pup @beanie.the.wienee . If you want your pet drawn- hit me up! 🤗🐶🐱 #PainPunsPencils

Thought I might post something a bit different because I want to share different parts of my journey with you.
I decided randomly that despite my chronic pain and the fact I can’t walk, I want to be able to do a handstand. So that’s what I’m working towards with the guidance of the amazing @movementwithhannah . Wish me luck! ...I don’t know why I do this to myself 😂🤙🏼 #PainPunsPencils

Who knew coffee cups could be so handy? 😉
First lil sketch in my new studio space, not the best but I had fun. Did record the process so we’ll see how I go with editing that together.
I hope to be more active here now. I’ve had a lot of stuff going on. That includes creating my entry for the Archibald prize. Stay tuned for pics 😅 #PainPunsPencils

Can’t believe I forgot to post this commission I completed before Christmas! So appreciative that people want to give my custom artwork as gifts! 🤯🥰 I created these 3 portraits on my iPad Pro and then had them printed on canvas.

Found this sketch this morning while organising my new lil art studio. This was created back at the start of 2016 when I was first experimenting with the full potential of the simple ballpoint pen 🖊 #PainPunsPencils

Found this sketch this morning when I was packing up my art for the move. It was only done very quickly a few years ago but it still has a particularly special place in my art. It was created in a particularly hard time in my life and it gave me just that little bit of comfort. 😔😌 #PainPunsPencils

Finally finished this artwork which I’ve been wanting to create for a long time! Also I used gouache for the first time on the snake! 🐍 This is the last artwork I will create in my current creative space as I move to another next week. Lots and lots of changes are about 😅

This popped up in my memories yesterday just a day after I saw @ShawnMendes live, and it sort of just came at the perfect time. As you may be aware I battle chronic pain and it has been quite flared up recently. Along with this my mental health has deteriorated. To put it simply: I’m struggling. I thought I’d repost this as a reminder to myself and anyone else who needs it. We can do this 🖤

So it was my sisters birthday yesterday so I decided to draw her something she’s been asking and asking me to draw- a bee bum! 🐝🌷
