Page from my sketchbook 2023; gouache and white gel pen

A thought I've been having lately- To make peace without forgiveness, I do it for my own mind, my own future, and you need nothing from me too.

Playing with the format of the envelope, and making some mail extra fun!

Watercolor and gouache painting - practicing watercolor washes in the sketchbook

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.

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..

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.

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 :)
