Illustration Friday: Separated

-

My illustration for this week is in watercolour but after seeing my girls cutting up magazines at the weekend I thought I'd like a go too, so here I've combined a watercolour painting with a little bit of collage!

Talking of 'my girls'and 'separation' (not for long though, going to see them soon!) my eldest sent me this picture of her with her own little girl getting ready for christmas. A little angel, just like the one below.
Not really.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
