March is a great month for the Canadian boardgaming community - one might even call it "convention season"! This weekend, it was capped off by GOBFest in Edmonton. A few of the FallCon organizers traveled from Calgary to support this sister convention. True to form, I only took pictures of games. π

Pencil sketch. Upper left is a parallelogram. Central figure is a meeple.
Y'all may know I love boardgames. I'm pleased to report that I might be getting close to cracking the code, unravelling the mysteries, and finding the key to the handdrawn meeple. What could this mean? What artful shenanigans will result?

Top is blurred with hazy art supplies. Foreground is a paper with blue and buff coloured handpainted flowers being held above a dark wooden table.
Top left is a paper with many swatched watercolour brushstrokes. Along the right is a watercolour tin with many colours of half pan paints.
Blurry painting supplies at top. Two half paint pans with Stoneground Paint Company wrapping behind them are in wells of ceramic dish. One the left is a putty colour ama on the right is a dark blue colour.
I stopped by my local art store to try some paints Saskatchewan-based Stoneground Paint Co.
Titanium buff and Indanthrone Blue came home with me. Made a quick doodle with some of their pearlescent Prairie Gold that I had previously snagged. Texture and pigmentation are a dream.
Art helps.
