With all the flourishing of lines, and whooshing down of watercolour lately, I’m not sure If I did washes first in this one, or the ink pen, a bit of both I think... I used the “Kuretake Gansai Tambi” watercolours, I bought a little while back. Love the large pans of colour. I used the Scanner... Continue Reading →
A bit of a play, on a piece of 4” x 6”, 290gsm Canson canvas paper. It took the watercolours, and little bit of gouache quite well. Drew over the paint with a few ink pen lines for some definition. No pilling...the washes lay longer on the surface than with watercolour paper. This can make... Continue Reading →
I’m doing more gouache painting lately, and I thought I’d also try gouache in Procreate on the iPad. I like the smooth, soft feel of gouache in this app - I also used the pencil for a few details around the woman’s eyes. I could get it to a fine point, even though I’m using... Continue Reading →
*Began this with quick graphite pencil lines, did a little shading....then added some coloured pencil work, watercolour washes, and a little gouache. These are drawn from memory and imagination. I like to begin something with a rush of linework, whether I have visual information to work from or not. It’s kind of fun not knowing exactly... Continue Reading →

I began with some quick lines using a “Faber-Castell, Dark Sepia Pitt” artist pen, and then added watercolour. These are a few of the many landscapes I’ve attempted in recent months. I’m finding this quite a... Continue Reading →

Watercolour, gouache and coloured pencil on 300gsm tan Strathmore mixed media paper. This paper is lovely, even though it does have some odd... Continue Reading →

Watercolour, gouache, Inktense pencil, and graphite pencil, on Art Spectrum, textured A4 “Draw and Wash” paper. Day 30 of the World Watercolour Month challenge. Began with an idea, and a quick trip around the paper with a black Inktense paper. Then brushed on washes of watercolour, and a little white gouache - mostly on the... Continue Reading →
Watercolour, Inktense pencil, and gouache on canvas: size approx. 10cm x 10cm - 4” x 4”. Day 29 of the World Watercolour Month challenge. This is not yet a finished painting, and it’s not one I’m particularly pleased with. However, as is often the case, there’s aspects I like, and I learn something. The focus... Continue Reading →
