I didn’t like what a drippy layer of Rotring ArtistColor in Raw Sienna was doing, so I wiped it down with a paper towel, and now I like it quite a lot.

Another 5×5 canvas with many previous lives (read: layers). Added some Pentalic Woodless Pencil 2B, collage, and Golden Regular Gel (Gloss). Feels like it’s starting to come together.

Retreat Report: Winged Ukuleles, Gremlin Photobombs, and Other Amazingness
I’m dying to tell you all about this weekend’s Create & Incubate Retreat (the Second Annual!), but where to start?
