Gansai Tambi watercolour fun



It is a bit of a mess, but practice every day right?


This was a quick but fun little challenge. I have not really got into still life painting, but thought that I should give it a try – and hey, I was forced to eat some mini apple turnovers!. This is a mostly watercolour artwork (Daniel Smith and a little Gansai Tambi) but I did finish off the turnovers with pencil. A little white gel pen was also used for the highlights (then toned down with coloured pencil).
Here’s today’s first art. Coloured pencil sketch of a lovely yellow rose. Lots of blender pencil, but also vaseline as a blendrr as a trial. Fun fighting with materials…oil based pencils reacting with other binders. I like it when you don’t know what to think.

Coloured pencil seascape based on a photo of Emu Park. I am not convinced but it isn’t the worst. Some blending with baby oil. About 10 hours work.
