New Bunny!


My newest bunny!! He looks a wee bit angry. Perhaps he's disgruntled about his disembowelment.


See? Look how angry he is! All cute and angry!

Om nom nom!!! He's available in my Etsy shop!

Coffee Sparrow

 I figured I'd show a WIP of a painting I did yesterday. I felt like painting using pretty much just coffee.
Yes, coffee.
And of course I painted a sparrow!!
So, here's a walk through. The finished painting is at the end.

The sketch. A little difficult to see, sorry. I start all my paintings with a pencil sketch.


 The first layer of coffee. Everything gets  a coffee wash.


 Darkening up the brown areas. This is around 5 washes of coffee.


 Another 10 or so washes of coffee, and adding the black watercolor.


More coffee, more black watercolor. Almost done!


The finished painting!! Painted exclusively with coffee and black watercolor! Yay!

Sparrow Lines


I was doodling a sparrow and went over it in ink. I'll probably end up coloring this, either colored pencils or water colors . . . we'll see! Drawn on cardboard.
