Pink is lovely. And so is your little cllection of photos.
Hey, Kris, i’ve got a question (though i know it’s not connected with this post). When you paint, you use gouache, right? And you use pencil to sketch?
Cause I use watercolours and after covering pencil with paint, it’s able to be seen through, which is horrible! So I want to switch over gouache, which should cover pencil, right?
Sorry to bother, but I’d really like to know opinion of someone more experienced. Oh, and I apologize for mistakes, English isn’t my mother’s language (sadly ;)).
Waiting for your answer
cheers
Yep, I use gouache and you’re right, it is opaque. It should cover the pencil no problem (as long as you don’t press too hard!). Give it a try, it totally changed my life when I discovered it. Until then I was using watercolour or acrylic, both of which sucked. x
Love this pictures. Amazing selection. Love your blog, too. You´re very creative. Like it!!! My current biggest wish is a paint from you of my. That would be famous…..
I'm Kris and I like drawing, embroidery and taking pictures. I particularly enjoy souvenirs from the seaside, going for afternoon tea, trips to ikea and pandas.
I have recently graduated from a degree in Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts and this blog is a medley of drawings, photos and anything else I find pleasing to the eye.
INFO
I use a Canon 5d with a 50mm 1.4 lens most of the time.
