Mixed media girl
I received for Xmas lots of mixed media art presents… I played with them straight away like a child full of excitment with its new toy…The result after many layers of different types of paint is a rather beady eyed wood fairy girl….more to come in this new style.
Merry Xmas !
Cuddly Rudolph done in watercolour , gouache and pen in my sketchbook while cooking for tonight….
Scotland Loch Lomond
Although it is most likely snowing in Scotland now, I keep a warm memory of the Summer there around Loch Lomond .I did not take the seaplane but watched it landing on water…This sketch was done with brushpen and gouache. The reflection of the plane and people in the water are my point of interest.
What a laugh!
This joyful picture from a magazine attracted my attention. It was a black and white photo so I made up the colours and background using gouache and brushpen. A good exercise concentrating on tonal values. Plus the happy face shows excitment for this approaching festive season.
Going with the flow
This beautiful mermaid was inspired by a stained glass window.I transformed it to be more fleshy and I deliberately accentuated her round shape to give a sense of sensual and very feminine movement. A very watery theme definately yin.
I used gouache and gesso on watercolour paper.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film hero
I painted this portrait using gouache in a very watery manner almost like watercolour. You can see the transparency effect in the coat. It is the advantage of gouache you have the choice between transparency and opacity in the application of the paint.
