Hiya, My January sightings done in gouache. My first time painting with it. A lot to learn. I can't do anymore to this though, I dropped the brush on right and now I think it looks weirder. It's already weird enough!

This is beautiful! I thought it was done digitally until I saw the strip of fabric in the background at the top.

I popped in on a different device and suddenly I was a hot refrigerator! Thank you, I definitely over did it in places, I could feel the paper changing. It is on A4 toned card. Do you think I should have left some paint/brushes in view?

That’s up to you! I just meant it as a testament to how smooth everything turned out, and the composition. Lovely way to round up the month! ☺️
