Watercolour and Ink

Watercolour and ink is such a fun medium to work with; I love the sketchiness and immediacy of the shapes and colours, and I like the contrasty inky black lines. I have a soft spot for illustrative styles and many of my favourite artists started as cartoonists.

I’ve been working on a commission for a friend to commemmorate his wife’s beloved horse, and we thought this style would work best to capture the spirit of Jill and Alf together.

Here are a couple of images of the work in progress and the finished piece, titled “The Everlasting Sunset”.
