I’ve been on hold for over an hour. I know they’re busy but I may be slowly going crazy. Fortunately I can spill that energy into this weird painting thingy. onhold

This one I know the scanner mucked with the colour. The pink is very bright in the actual painting. I used Jane Davenport paints for this and the smaller piece I posted earlier. That pink is the “Best Friend” colour, which is a neon pink if I’ve ever seen one. This one is better than the previous ones, I feel, but there’s still kind of a dead zone…[Read more]

That pink is the \"Best Friend\" colour, which is a neon pink if I\'ve ever seen one. This one is better than the previous ones, I feel, but there\'s still kind of a dead zone in the centre, and the pink wibblies I made on the right edge are bothering me now for some reason. loosefree_3

The second of my ‘loose and free’ watercolours. I got decent pigment this time but I have a muddled bit in the centre. There’s some nice feathering effects where colours ran together, but this one feels… a bit dead somehow. loosefree_2

This is the first ‘loose and free’ watercolour I tried after watching Angela Fehr’s video. I used tube watercolours because those matched the colours she used, and I loved the effects she got so I figured I’d start close to her example. I didn’t use enough pigment so the colours are washed out. Additionally, I’m pretty sure my scanner is mangling…[Read more]

This is the first \'loose and free\' watercolour I tried after watching Angela Fehr\'s video. I used tube watercolours because those matched the colours she used, and I loved the effects she got so I figured I\'d start close to her example. I didn\'t use enough pigment so the colours are washed out. Additionally, I\'m pretty sure my scanner is mangling the colours somewhat. I\'ve got a couple more of these in the pipe, and I welcome any suggestions anybody has for how I might improve them. Or if you think they\'re already great, I\'d love to know why! 🙂 loosefree_1

Augh, Facebook is such butt! Trying to get back into my account required me to pester three friends for codes, and then that didn’t even work! I’m thinking of just making a new account. All I want to do is join art communities. And there might be advantages to starting over too. Hm.

I decided to try a sketch of some of my art tools on proper 140 lb watercolour paper after liking the general look of a similar sketch I did in my journal. The scissors are out of proportion… next time I do this I’ll try a contour sketch first to help with that. Art Tools

A spread from my latest journal. I seem to be addicted to drawing my art tools. And, in this case, random ladybugs. Hey, ladybugs are cool! Drop-shadows are also cool. When you do them right, eheh. This paper is not suited for watercolour (though that doesn’t stop me apparently) and I’ve done a similar still life of art tools on watercolour paper,…[Read more]

This paper is not suited for watercolour (though that doesn\'t stop me apparently) and I\'ve done a similar still life of art tools on watercolour paper, which I\'ll put up shortly. moleskine_8jun2019-1b
