Fluorescent Pink Monkey

I was looking for the brilliant holbein colors all over Dublin shops, but I couldn't find any. On line there are few shops selling them, and moreover they are too expensive for an amateur like me. Today I decided to buy this cheap acrylic (Reeves) from Eason: it's super!!! I want them all :)

Don't walk alone - Watercolor

Thanks to the practice with gouache, I'm less afraid to use more quantity of color with watercolor.

The Addams Family "Grandmama"

The Addams Family Musical Comedy is hilarious! My favourite part is the one about Grandma: of whom is she the mother???.
Neither Gomez nor Morticia seem to know the answer.

Mine? Yours!
.....
for real
isn't she yours?

GOUACHE #2

I painted this from life, watching the light and the color from my window.
In the meantime I'm also studying Richard Yot's book "Light for Visual Artists" to see how light and color work. I must surely find a good paper tape, this one rips the paper... sigh.
