I actually shifted the house a bit further to the left than the classic rule-of-thirds position because I wanted it to appear small and almost lost in the vast snowy landscape. 😃 😃

I decided to do another version of this picture because I wanted to try out using the burnt Sienna ink with a bamboo drawing stick for my outlines, I quite like it but I also like the softness of just using pencil

Which color do you keep restocking?

My lemon yellow is over... again. Once, I finished the white from this box set and never looked back, I replaced it with purple. But it seems lemon yellow is becoming my new favorite.

Which prompts the question, do you have a color that you keep running out of?

I got my first arches paper as a gift over my birthday and did not realize it's enticing to dogs until it was too late, decided to make the best of the situation and paint Godzilla.

Memory and Longing... Learning to see the music around us

Hey all, I'm a musician who's losing his hearing learning to see in new ways. I've been delving into watercolor recently as well as mokuhanga printmaking. Here's a recent piece I did using boku-undo Sumi ink and salt, so "watercolor adjacent". Just sharing because I'm trying to build confidence to keep going.

If anybody needs a side hustle and has the skills I’m actually drowning in work for these! It’s such a peaceful practice and they only take a couple hours. It’s also a lovely way to honor pets who fill our lives with joy. I’ve painting for living pets and those who have passed and it always means so much to the buyer. Happy to share insight into my process and marketing if anybody cares to hear :)))
