 This is what my kitchentable looks like nowadays


Watercolor test of colors and pencils

Well, "Searching" can stand for both the butterflies and watercolors.  I am trying new ways to express myself. The acrylic colors I ordered has not yet arrived so I got myself a simple set of watercolor to start with. I have no studio so my kitchen table has to be used as one. So far I only tried the colors with two different pencils. Figuring out how to use them.

Searching! is created from two images and some photoshop techniques like lens flare.

Trying lots of  new stuff this week again while I wait for the acrylic paint.

This time I bought watercolor. Have not done that since I went to school as a child. So it is all new to me. A question to you that are used to the medium, is it possible to keep the paper from "bubbling"?

The Clay Forest, comes from cleaning up some remaning things from my mother. The clay was created by my mother and my daughter some 40 years ago. So, many memories there.
I photographed the pieces and manipulated them one by one in Photoshop. Then arranged the scene. The background is created by painting digitally with a tablet.
