Watercolour, gouache, Inktense (watersoluble) pencil, a little Payne’s grey watersoluble pencil and graphite pencil, on A5, gold/tan %100 recycled card.

Hi, I’m back from my annual Summer blogging break. When I left I was beginning to use more of my traditional art media. After an intensive time (I’m not one to do things by half measures) with iPad art in these past few years, it was a bit strange to be dipping brushes into water,... Continue Reading →
