Swallow tails are enthralling, on whatever creature has them.

Swallow tails are enthralling, on whatever creature has them.

I’m discovering that I really enjoy drawing creatures (you know, more than just horses.) And I think rodents are adorable.

Still playing with doors and watercolors, I guess this comes off as more of a purple door than a red one. But it was red in my head.
In other news, color mixing is hard.
But this piece is up on Redbubble, looks kinda neat on a pillow.

Dance like nobody’s watching:


I painted this in an effort to…well…learn more about watercolors. I was trying to mess around with controlling the depth of pigment in broader strokes, but still deliberate ones, if that makes sense. The water came out kind of cool, but you can see that the ship leaked all over it because I didn’t wait for the ship to dry sufficiently before starting on the water.
The sails were a challenge for me to draw–so many lines and angles! I thought it would be easy, but it wasn’t. I will definitely be drawing Chinese junks again, though, because they are SO COOL to look at.
