I did a bunch more paintings of my trip to Cairns that I actually literally forgot about. I was shuffling through my unsorted pile of completed art and found them. The still water ones are not particularly successful, I think, but I have shared them anyway.
Some took me a while to finish because I ran out of care. I don’t know how many other artists do this: you discover a new thing to do, go all manic for a bit, then chuck it in and move on. When you come back to it your approach then changes and stuff you do never looks the same again.
These are all the mixed media thing I’ve been doing: pen, watercolour, markers, colour pencil.
Landscape:
I got tired of the landscapes so I tried a few birds. I should have been a little more careful with some of the underdrawing; the parrot looks super forbiddingly evil, but, eh.
