This piece was commissioned by a coworker. It was a very large piece at 24"by26" on green leather. I used an acrylic base and then completely covered that with oils. It becomes very dusty when dried so I added many layers of a spray varnish for oils on top. The color remained nice and vibrant.
Drawn in my sketchbook in 2017, lined with Pigma Micron marker, colored with Kohinoor watercolors and Derwent Inktense Blocks, with a little colored pencil.
This is my character Shu. She is from the Ming Dynasty period 1368–1644 (I think). Created with White Knights Watercolors, handmade pearlescent watercolors (by Rusee on etsy), and a bit of pencil (mainly painted over or erased).
Just a watercolor sketch I did of my cup on my desk at work, which was handmade and purchased from a farmer’s market. I have a little cat that sits on it that I got from a gachapon machine at a sushi restaurant.
A slightly different activity you can do in Finnish Lapland is floating in a 2°C cold water. When it’s snowing you can watch the snowflakes fall on you and when the sky is clear you can stare at the stars or even watch the Northern lights dance above you.
