painting in progress

I've been working on this painting for-next-to-ever,

mostly because I hardly ever paint these days.

I'm back at it again, though!

In this last round, I decided to darken up the background

and block in flesh tones. I'm happy that the figures

at least look humanoid at this point.

waiting for the game

My favorite bit of this sketch is those couches:

You just never know what wonderful little surprises

you're going to get with watercolor.

fountain pen messes

Refilling fountain pens...

the outcome is well worth the mess!

save the date

 

So, this is what I've been up to lately.

My dear friends Layne and Mark are getting

married soon, and I had the privilege of

designing their "save the date" postcards!

Scroll down to catch a glimpse of the process.

Having fun with Dylusions Ink Spray.

I just picked up the London Blue and Lime Green

for collage purposes. But in the meantime...

travel art supplies

 

I'm looking forward to painting a bunch more this year

than I did last year!! As such, I have packed up

some of my drawing/painting accessories to tote around:

a couple of General's Sketch & Wash pencils,

a mechanical pencil, a blending stump,

a waterbrush, and a mini mister.

I also toss in a travel watercolor set,

some tubes of gouache, or the cutesy

watercolor pencils I received for Christmas.

Ooh -- there's also a Pentel brush pen in there. Tasty!!
