Nymph Reflections

Here is another postcard art in gouache. I'm finding that this medium would be good for colour studies for larger projects. Still, there is a far road to travel before I could say that I'm at least proficient at gouache. I still prefere it to watercolours and a lot more than acrylic...blah! ;)

The Hive Cluster

The Visitors

Spitfire

Red Riding Hood

My family and I were at our local art store and my wife showed me a Daler Rowney's watercolour postcard pad. She suggested that I give them a try. I was a little apprehensive about it as I have not like watercoulrs...or is it the other way round;) Anyway, I used gouache instead as I've heard its easier to work with. I did a pencil sketch and then seal the graphite with some Crystal Kote spray. One thing that I didn't like is that the postcard warped quite a bit. The paper is A6 100% cotton at 300gsm.

A Sketchbooks End

Well, I finally finshed one of my sketchbooks. I take this to work every day and doodle in it in my smoko break. I thought I'd show you what it actually looks like.

Trecherous Reef

I bought some watercolour Postcards the other day and thought I'll do some thumbs in that dimension (100x148mm) for practice. Once I'm ready, I'll paint a few to be sent through the post, should be interesting how they'll survive the journey...shall have to see in due time. I guess you could call it Postart ;)
