Happy New Year everyone!!! It's been a while since my last post and I think these baby sketches are fitting for the new year...still working out on more details on these subjects though.

Anyway, how was your new year? What new art projects are you into now? :)

Pixie Cap

I made this little piece as a study using two colors: vandyke brown, neutral tint and a touch of white gouche. I never realized how much fun and challenging it is when using a limited palette. I always have this habit of splashing several colors at once in my artwork and I think I should learn from this exercise..must have control and patience in building up tones and colors.

Cortinarius Bulliardii and a Pixie

cmelliza — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:55:36 +0000

I call this duo Cortinarius Bulliardii, mushrooms from the Cortinariaceae family. They are dangerous and poisonous. But a dear little pixie keeps them company everyday. I'm using ink and watercolour.
