gouache

Cute peaceful fox drinking coffee, wearing a scarf. Trying gouache for the first time. It's a really nice medium. I am definitely going to keep at it and make some more gouache paintings.

Furry pals :)

Coffee, ink and gouache.

Greek mythology around the crow, its feathers, Apollo and Coronis.

What started off as a mess up ended up as a cool doodle. I plan on putting it up on my bedroom wall, maybe Walton will feel less hollow since he'll have some good company. I think everyone has a little bit of Walton in them at one point or another..

55 mins “I Never Noticed The House Was On Fire” This is a painting for an upcoming group exhibition about memories. When I was a kid I grew up in a household where my parents were functioning alcoholics. They gave me toys, put me in front of the tv, and sent me outside to play to keep me distracted from what was going on. When I look back almost all of my childhood memories revolve around these things. I became obsessed with these imaginary worlds and I learned to draw by copying my favorite cartoons and characters from children’s books. It was not until I was much older, that the truth could no longer be hidden from me. The imaginary world of cartoons and books kept me shielded from the harsh realities of home. As I grew into an adult that form of coping grew with me as I created my own imaginary places inspired by the ones I loved as a child. A healthy place to escape.

Mixed gouache, ink, pencils, oil pastel.

Collage, ink, and gouache in the sketchbook

I stated with a rough pencil sketch then inked it with a brush pen and colored it with watercolor and gouache on a watercolor postcard. Reference I used was this excellent photo - https://www.pexels.com/photo/tree-wild-squirrel-monkey-97827/ photo by Mike from Pexels.com

The town nearby :) morning in the harbor

Inspired by my 90s nostalgia and the movie "Reality Bites"

I love drawing old houses, another monochromatic study in ink and gouache.

I've been traveling all summer and had not been able to make any art. Here is my first painting in a while. A little bit of art therapy.

Watercolor (wet on wet sky, gouache stars and watercolor trees)

Virgo, observer. Taking notes. Happy birthday to my fellow Virgoians~

Page 18 of my Journey Journal. A study of my first impressions of the city of Berlin. Ink, gouache, watercolour on toned paper.

Have been trying to improve the way I draw faces :)

Thinking of making this into a wall paper, have been drawing lots of trees as so many near me have been getting cut down lately.

I think lionfish are very pretty , too bad they are a damaging invasive species in so many areas .

Casey the Puppet. This painting captures the essence of a puppet lots of older Canadians will remember. A strange genderless creature with a dog puppet companion. A puppet with an outspoken personality that I remember as a kid wondering how it got away with saying what it did. The painting has a Canadian stamp to commemorate the puppet's roots.

Pencil colored and gouache drawing

I always have a more muted color palette in mind and then the painting ends up being very colorful. Trying out Arteza gouache. I really like it :)
