A couple of things

Here are a couple of recent acrylic paintings that, well, I liked enough to put up here. They're just experimental/developmental pieces really, but I enjoyed doing them. :)





I suspect the first one was unconsciously somewhat inspired by Ruth Brown 's picture book A Dark, Dark Tale... it was one of my favourite picture books when I was little, and probably still is really! I'm quite pleased with how the colours turned out in both of these. :)

  3. Thank you Doda, will do! :)

    Charlotte - it's just acrylics (can't remember if I used retarder or not). The scratchy effect on the castle one is just hatching with a soft pencil. :D
