Hello Friends! It has been a busy last few months. I was privileged to complete two commissions. One I am happy to post today, the other will have to wait until after Christmas. I don’t want to spoil the surprise.
Below is the holiday card that I made for an amazingly fun family. This is actually the third year in a row that I have completed their holiday card. I’ve posted the last three years. It shows some of the evolution of this style. I’m excited to see next year’s growth.
Hello Friends!
Today is a day for experimentation! I will be attending an event in October (details to come) and I wanted to create some little plant paintings to take with me. This little cactus seemed like the perfect subject to experiment with some new materials I purchased. Ranger Ink posted on their instagram a while ago about their new Mixed Media Powders. I don’t use powders, embossing or otherwise, often but the mix looked like it gave a really cool effect.
Next, I using my parallel pen to add some darks. I love this pen. I use it a lot. Jenny Doh introduced me to it in a class I took with her a year ago at Art and Soul, Portland. After adding watercolor to the image, I used a Perfect Medai Bullet pen that I purchased with the powders to prep where the powders would stick. Results below! I think the powder is pretty cool. I like the contrast between the shiny powder and the matte watercolor. A success, I think.
I would like to add that I purchased these materials on my own and am not affiliated with, supported or paid by RangerInk. I am an independent artist who thought the materials were cool and wanted to share them with you.
Hi Friends!
I've been working on some coloring books for the last several months. I am so close to seeing them becoming a reality. The Kickstarter project was funded and the design for the Humanoids in Gardens coloring book is being designed now. I have five more headdresses to finish for the Humanoids in Headdresses coloring book. Each one will have thirty pages. I can not wait to see them printed. Besides the ones for my backers, I'll have a few extra available.
