Big Comfy Cake


Hello precious Readers! 
I am sharing another painting today that I did for a good friend.  I used the image I did for Whimsy called, "Big Comfy Cake".   The image is on water colour paper and then painted with my artist quality paints.  I really love to water colour as much as I love to use Copics!  If I had to decide between the two I don't think I could.  Both mediums are so fun, yet sooo vastly different to work with.  

While the watercolours blend themselves practically, the Copics take a lot of getting used to at first to get a good blend.  And I don't think I could do the sky as I did here using Copics.  Maybe some super skilled Copic user could.  But the soft and seamless blend of pink to blue would be really hard to obtain using Copic markers.  

I had a lot of fun doing the grass.  It was actually quite challenging but in the end I think I pulled it off ok.  I'm still no expert water colourist, that is for sure, but every time I paint I get a little bit better than before. 

 I will leave you with pictures of my latest rubber release from Whimsy Stamps.  
Thanks for coming by today!

    Hi Crissy. How nice to see you today at my site! It has been so long since i tended to the old blog. It feels good to be back at it after a wee dry spell of a few months. It is always so inspiring to come here and see what you are creating Crissy. These little characters are absolutely delightful and charming. You have a wonderful imagination. Thanks for sharing them with us. I'm feeling the need to draw now. Happy painting! Many blessings. Ross
