  Gayish fishy sausage hovering over sleepy rat.
  Trying-out my brand new Rembrandt 48x ½ pans set from the metal box – what-er-colours – what else?

  Woodland Spring – Inktense, Watercolour and Pastel

  I’ve been trying to figure out a way to depict my favourite trees and this is getting near the end of the journey. I started with trying different sketching techniques while using different media. This one, a mythical forest scene, uses three separate ones. The sky is in watercolour, the distant trees are in pastel while the sharper, near stuff is done using the new Inktense block colours. I think this is about as far as I want to go with mixing media as I might make things too complicated. Will try to concentrate on specific genre in the next few posts.

  She Chameleon – watercolour

  “Sheltering her ego on the edge of a floodlit arc
  She’ll contemplate seduction, she’ll calculate the catch
  When she moved, her presence speared me
  When she spoke, her words ensnared me
  Watch the lizard, watch the lizard,
  Watch the lizard with the crimson veil
  She crucified my heart in the depth of a satin grave
  As I lay in sweating monologue I sensed the lovelight fade
  Within the spiral of the cigarette
  You betrayed your bedside etiquette
  I saw the lizard, I saw the lizard
  I touched the lizard with the crimson veil…”

  Frosty Morning – Watercolour and Pastel

  Combining watercolour with my new found pastels. This was done a couple of weeks ago as I tried to get to grips with my new stuff. The mornings are a bit warmer these days although experience reminds me that there is still time cooler weather. We even had snow in May a couple of years ago and it regularly snows up in the Scottish mountains all year round.
