Pixie Thoughts

Pixie Thoughts is another watercolor study using Hook Green, Yellow Ochre, Neutral Tint  and Raw Umber.

Pixie Cap

I made this little piece as a study using two colors: vandyke brown, neutral tint and a touch of white gouche.  I never realized how much fun and challenging it is when using a limited palette.  I always have this habit of splashing several colors at once in my artwork and I think I should learn from this exercise..must have control and patience in building up tones and colors.

Finished Piece: Cortinarius Bulliardii and a Pixie

Finally I was able to finish this one. Hoping to paint more magical toadstools!!

Cortinarius Bulliardii and a Pixie

I call this duo Cortinarius Bulliardii, mushrooms from the Cortinariaceae family.  They are dangerous and poisonous.  But a dear little pixie keeps them company everyday. I'm using ink and watercolour.

Meet Georgie Molie!

I am pleased to introduce Georgie Molie! I love moles and I just find them very cute. George  is my character to be used for my children's book portfolio...

This is a watercolor study ( in progress) of two squirrels having their afternoon tea. There's a few tiny touches of colored pencils in there too.
