I Wanna Watercolour 3

I just had to share these cute guys. It's part of a larger watercolour project that I have finished, but I can't reveal it just yet, 'cuz I have to wait until it shows up on this site. Yup, I was very honoured to be asked to contribute to the 2011 Celebrities on Canvas Art Auction, in support of Sarnia's Community Concerns for the Medically Fragile. My painting has been shipped off to Sarnia – I sure hope they like it!

I Wanna Watercolour 2

I'm cheating a bit here – this is a watercolour illustration I did for fun a few years ago. But I felt like sharing, cuz well, it ain't half bad, I think.

I Wanna Watercolour

I used to work in watercolour a lot more when I was younger. I think I did it a lot more back then because I had no preconceived notions, and I was a heck of a lot less insecure about working in any traditional art form. But you  know what? Even though I have had no formal training, and I really don't know what the heck I am doing, I love working in watercolour. And I want to get better. So with that in mind, I've created a new category, I Wanna Watercolour, where I will show off my watercolour stuff.

The drawing you see above is my first attempt at watercolour in probably at least a couple of years. Meet Ralphie the Robin. Ralphie is struggling with various issues (hey, aren't we all). Hopefully life will get better for Ralphie, and hopefully I'll get better at watercolour.
