Clouds again, now I am happy

A different technique from the same book as the previous cloud painting. I like the results of this one a lot more. Not much else to say really. I learned to blend outward in a circular motion. I also learned to place a little paint and water on my brush when lifting out color: this will inject a little bit of color back into the area.

No more cloud-centric paintings...for a while anyway. Promise.

Inktober Day 3 - "Bait"

Old school pen and ink. I haven't used a crow quill pen since high school - and, even then, I remember struggling to get it to work. This time, I thought I would try to create something using only cross-hatching. The prompt word today is "bait". This word took me into a lot of different ideas, but the one I ultimately landed on is based on the will-o-wisp. In my head, I imagined glowing orbs in front of a copse of swamp trees all created with layers of cross-hatching. Things had to be scaled back a bit. There are still two trees in the background if you look hard enough. Success? Sort of. It forced me to use a different kind of pen and, in doing so, made me want to keep going and get better with it.
