@K-Flagg This is a marvelous hedge-spit-roo!

@neschof Maybe gouache resist? I did a few for artshows, and people thought they were lino prints...even when I was standing right next to it saying that it's not. They are much quicker, apart from having to wait until the gouache is absolutely dry. I own big tubes of white gouache (not acrylic) and quart bottles of ink because there is a bit of waste involved. I use hot press watercolor paper and tint with watercolor. This is all in past tense because it's been a few years since I made one, but I used to love the reveal when the gouache washed away (our bathtub still has black stains).

@RachelArmington Ooh, thanks, I've not heard of gouache resist before - I'll have to look into it!

just spent the last 6 months doing the illustrations for a Companion Cook Book to a series called The Chronicles of St Marys, the author is amazing and the books are just brilliant...anyway, this is one of the illustrations.

Hey all!

I also want to showcase a project that has been in my back pocket, but I have finally brought myself to it this week. I finished the transcript last night and I am in the middle of editing.

This is a cover design for my new book. What do you think?

The story is about a little friendly ghost who is looking for a friend. Unfortunately, finding a friend in a creepy house can be hard to come by. Its only when a few kids come to ring his door bell, on a dare, that he gets his wish.

After two years of unsuccessfully trying to learn how to paint "artistic" watercolor paintings, I am admitting that I'm just a line and wash kind of person. This is a barn down the road from my house.

@Lee-White said on a podcast that he didn't understand why people always painted barns. I've realized that it's because if you live in a rural area, it's the only thing to paint besides trees and cows!

@demotlj Wished I lived in that landscape

[demotlj]

@Oana It is beautiful this time of year.

More watercolour and ink doodles

[demotlj]

I came across this line of trees a few miles from my house and they had such character I had to paint them.

@kylebeaudette This makes me laugh. Seems like a satire on All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Salutations comrade peers. I am... fresh at this academy. Fear not my... helper slug. They are... ravenous. I mean, harmless.

[Janette]

@Braden-Hallett wonderful expressions

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Braden-Hallett nice!! Love the idea!

Hey team
Just practicing with the use of some shapes and the effect they might have when drawing a character!

[kylebeaudette]

Fake book cover. I'm thinking of doing a series of watercolour sketches that are fake children's book covers, selling them at my city's Artwalk or on Etsy
