Hi all,
How are you on this lovely day?
I feet the need to do a little mid-week update, since this week is a bit weird in several ways, and I will not be able to do a full post about anything, but didn't want to leave you with nothing at all for too long.

Since this piece was featured quite a bit on my Patreon this month, I thought you might enjoy an early preview of this week end's Youtube video. :)
Hope you're all well!

Hey guys,
I was wading through all my scanned files and found this little guy, and thought that you might enjoy it!
It was a concept I started for some day in Inktober last year (which day I don't know) but then abandoned because I was unhappy with it. 2018-05-15 18:14:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello everyone!
After 4 days of painting, I have finally finished "Adoration"!
And I have to say, I am really quite happy with this one! I used the same technique I tried on "Lost", using watercolour and gouache next to each other to create a texture contrast.
This piece was so. ...

Hi peeps!
Thank you for all your kind words on my little life-studies! I'll look into making some sticker sets from them, maybe experiment with printing them myself, we'll see. I'll keep you updated of course.

Hi all,
Here's a little compilation post of all the object studies I did while I was back home. My step-mother owns a plethora of inspiring vintage objects, and I just wish I'd actually painted more!
They were all painted in gouache, on 250gsm (115 lb) Clairefo...

Hi all,
Attached is the PDF of the pages I drew in my sketchbook this last month!

Hope you'll enjoy this one nonetheless!

2018-04-27 12:27:59 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I have a quick question for you!
Regarding prints, do you tend to prefer the measurements to be in inches (5x7, 8x11...etc...), or in "A" sizes (A4, A3...etc...)?

Hi all,
