Watercolors on paper
Watercolors on a bigger canvas this time. This canvas supposedly had gesso applied already but it sure didn’t feel like it. I’ll have to prepare the next one myself. It’s annoying to see white patches remain after multiple brush strokes.

Tried to make an album cover style image using oil pastels and color pencils on black paper. Doing the face with pastels turned out to be an interesting choice because I find it hard to be precise with this medium.

Using watercolors after ages and on an unfamiliar surface – canvas – as well. Shading and mixing colors will require practice.
I used acrylics on a couple of places. Can you spot where?

Oil pastels on paper
First time using crayo… I mean oil pastels. It’s an interesting medium, quite messy, but I think I’ll have fun with it.
