297 perspective from inside a city block
Another perspective. I went out and bought a few brushes and some masking fluid today. I do think it had a positive effect on this painting. It seems that the amount of water and the thickness of the line is easier to control when you have real watercolor brushes to work with. For the moment … Read more
296 perspective from inside a city block
Nothing much to say. The weird house is covered in a “growing facade” by the way.. It doesn’t seem to save the building, though !

I also tried experimenting a bit with other harder brushes. I think that I will try some different things for fur and see what works … Read more
290 Dog potrait
Original photo here This guy’s mouth is very hard to paint.. I don’t think it’s a great success, but overall it’s got the same expression and i think it looks like the original. One ear should be bigger though. I’m preparing on to do some very small scale dog-portraits for dog owners to sell for … Read more
