There are a couple of tiny bits there that actually look like clouds to me. But it was fun mixing grays from violet and raw sienna. Could I be working my way gradually back to watercolor? Who knows, time will tell!

February break continues. I’m not even painting lately, because it’s time for the February collage break. I should be able to post a few of those soon, they’re still in progress.
Meanwhile, here’s another character from the family DnD game. Meet Gertie Sable, a rock gnome with magical abilities. She’s irrepressibly curious and outgoing, and stowed away on the ill-fated voyage with the help of Demanda, who saw her as a potential friend and willing minion.
I really don’t enjoy making art digitally; I already spend too much time sitting at a computer. But for these game tokens, I’ve started filling in the backgrounds with fast and crappy digital brushwork. It’s possible I’ll learn how to use some of these tools just out of convenience!

It’s sort of fitting that the original post for this painting was on the last birthday of my valentine ❤
i.e. 12 September 2020

The original post was 8 November 2020. Fire dancing. Our little fire pit is now buried in snow, with more on the way. But the sun is already stronger, and the days are getting longer in leaps and bounds!
