Miniature pen and ink

Miniature pen and ink drawing of Noah applying the stippling technique with a very fine 0.05 point Copic Multiliner and with the help of a clip-on LED-lit magnifier that I got from Lindcraft through the week..... feel quite nana doing it. Haha! The drawing measures only 2.5" x 2"

Miniature watercolours

Miniature watercolours, each of these are done on 2.5" x 3.5" Strathmore watercolour artist trading cards (ATC). They are painted with Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky sable brushes sizes 000, 0, 1 and 6. The size 6 is used to lay down the initial background wash, the rest are painted using 000, 0 and 1.

Hei!

Right....here's another blog attempt. I've decided to blame my inability to blog consistently on my short attention span, but here I am giving it yet another go. I call this one "Water Pooches" which is not about dogs with amazing swimming abilities, nor is it about starting a dog wash business. This one is about my watercolour paintings and my favourite painting subjects are dogs.


I started playing with watercolours at a very young age. I've always loved it but never really pursued it. This is due to a number of reasons, the main reason being that life got in the way, I suppose. I got busy with work, I got busy with uni. I also found it frustrating because I was using inferior art materials. Let's face it, it's not the most affordable hobby!


So, I'm giving both blogging and watercolour another chance, a sort of last ditch effort..... uhmm.... maybe not.... let's not get too dramatic..... hahaha!
