Watercolour sketches of 2 very typical Provence subjects ..with the wind called Mistral in the background.
Fresh idea from my sketchbook. Acrylic paint ,inktense blocks and varnish to protect the fabric.
I used acrylic paints and inktense blocks to paint the giraffe which is permanent once activated with water. For good measure I protected the art with a matt spray varnish for acrylic paintings . I am very pleased to see that the 100% cotton material took so well the colours! What a great way to use your own art creations..

This tote bag was handpainted with acrylics and varnished for protection. I like to work with the background first and layer different organic shapes and then I add birds shapes for the focal point.
