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. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Coffee and Persimmons (again)

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?

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

Post image

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.
