Illustration Friday, 'Sky'

-

I really enjoyed working on a small scale while I was making the owl ACEO so when the this week's word for Illustration Friday was 'sky' it inspired me to do some more ACEOs. Here's the first one I've finished. It's painted with inks on heavy watercolour paper and will be in the shop very soon. :)


I've a few more in the pipeline and will have them to show you in the next day or so. Please come back and see!

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.

This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
