Hey! After 5 months without posting here, I'm giving another shot to this platform. If you are out there and want to see more of my art (and what I've been up to these past months) please give me some thumbs up! Heh! "Puppet Vine" - Watercolor, pencils and gouache.

Lightbearers, watercolors and ink on paper 29x32cm

Not really sure how to name this one yet. Any suggestions? It was a fun experiment where I tried pushing my pencils and watercolors much more than I usually do, before laying my ink lines. The result is a bit darker than intended, and my values got a bit messed up, but I learned a lot with this one.

Experimenting a bit today, trying to keep my ink lines aside and going just with watercolors (and my pencil underdrawing!)

Hi Matsya, I'm glad to have found you here too. Thanks for your video, probably what I needed to hear right now, and for the sincerity in reporting your experience (which also shines through in your eyes). I love you trees, your use of watercolors and the spirituality that flows from your artworks

Lothlorien or Rivendell? Which one do you think this painting is more similar? This watercolor and ink painting was done a couple of years ago and its called "A Place to Rest". . . #watercolorpainting #lotrart

Palm Tree Travellers, Finished this one yesterday, done in watercolors, inks and pencil. I hope you like it!

Curvy little town. I don't know why but I still like so much of this piece, which was simply done as an IG challange a couple of years ago.

My IPhone photo of Flaco, the NYC EAGLE owl who escaped from the zoo. I am having this scanned (I don’t have a scanner…) so hopefully the new scans will show all of the subtle color and detail. This painting is my tribute to our dearly departed boy, who ate some rats tainted with rodenticide 😭

DOORWAY TO THE WEST (2006) Acrylic on Panel - 12" x 9" Another search for the light. Creating the illusion of texture in paint, the process of actually painting it, can be an act of meditation. 1/2

Doing some dip pen illustrations for my Patrons!

This one is really old but I still like it. "Calling of the Fairy Master" . I may repaint a newer version of this. What do you think?

Hey everyone, just posted a new YouTube video showing the process for this watercolor and ink painting! Ya, I know, the overhead filming got a bit fuzzy, I will improve for the next! Link in comments.

I still like this tree so much! I remember when I was working on this illustration, I tried laying acrylic paint on top of my graphite drawing. It just covered up the drawing almost entirely, so in the end I just worked with Ink on top of my acrylic paint and got away with it.

CROWN OF SHADOWS (1995) Acrylic on Panel - 28" x 22" There's something in the complexity of an anti-hero that grabs the attention of readers. Such rich characters naturally provide an illustrator with opportunity to revel in the shadows. 1/4
