Hey! After 5 months without posting here, I'm giving another shot to this platform. If you are out there and want to see more of my art (and what I've been up to these past months) please give me some thumbs up! Heh!
"Puppet Vine" - Watercolor, pencils and gouache.
Lightbearers,
watercolors and ink on paper 29x32cm
Not really sure how to name this one yet. Any suggestions?
It was a fun experiment where I tried pushing my pencils and watercolors much more than I usually do, before laying my ink lines. The result is a bit darker than intended, and my values got a bit messed up, but I learned a lot with this one.
Oh really? I'm glad you like it ๐

Hi Matsya, I'm glad to have found you here too.
Thanks for your video, probably what I needed to hear right now, and for the sincerity in reporting your experience (which also shines through in your eyes).
I love you trees, your use of watercolors and the spirituality that flows from your artworks
