One of my favorite summer treats on the first page in a new A4 Moleskine Watercolor Journal. I love the larger size of the journal, it was nice to be able to spread out. I limited the color palette to just 2 colors to see how far I could push the colors.

I got tired of seeing the kraft cover of an old, Extra Large Moleskine Cahier so I thought I would give it a new look using some techniques I have used faux finishing my walls. Acrylic paint was used, including a subtle gold metallic vein which adds some sparkle but doesn’t show in the photo particularly well. The acrylic makes a nice, durable finish and does a good job of protecting the kraft cover.

Another Frosti sketch. This time with pen and ink and ink wash. Didn’t have a lot of time to get this done, so it looks a bit rushed. Done in a Moleskine Japanese Album.

Because I have a tendency to be too technical, I limited myself to a large paintbrush when rendering my hand. I was frustrated because I couldn’t create any detail, and I ended up with a hand that is more rugged than the original. I did manage to show the dirt under my nails, however. Very strange. It was a good exercise to take me out of my comfort zone.
