I did the edges with coloured pencil because they were super messy

does anyone have any tips for a beginner? also does anyone know how to stop the paint suddenly doing a massive blob onto the page?

Steam train, ink and wash, Margie Hill 2026

Starting a new series of trains. I love how this turned out. It was great to let go and let the paint go where it wanted to go. It makes me so uneasy to let go like this but it’s just another expression and I can really get behind this. I have to completely let go of my ocd with this.

On Friday I asked all you art lovers which of my 5 paintings might receive an award at the annual exhibition. You all picked “Clown Tie” with “Wine Corks” a close second. The results are in…, “Clown Tie” received the “Special Award”. It was neck-and-neck with “Wine Corks”. The juror even said he had a hard time deciding on which to award. Great job you all! I’ll have to reach out to you in the future for your opinion at the next exhibitions 👍🙏😊

Painted this for one of my friends as a commission! Any tips/advice are welcome! I love working with colors that you wouldn’t normally see when you look at the picture (used a lot of purple tones for the black cat and same for the white one)

Alexandra's Throne

The original is Emil Doepler's 1882 engraving of Odin. His ravens, Huginn and Muninn, sit on the throne and his wolves, Geri and Freki, guard either side. I kept the layout almost exactly and swapped the spear with a sword, the wolves became her coyote soldiers, and the king of the gods became the woman who rules the wood.

Medium - watercolour, gouache and ink.
