About 7.7” x 5.5”, watercolor and alcohol washes accented with white gel pen and white pencil.

Working on bigger paintings for my portfolio project made me want to relax with a smaller, unplanned piece, so this guy’s been my side project for a while.

Prints and original are in my Shop: http://metalkirin.storenvy.com/

One last plug (for now) for my Patreon! If you like my work, you can support me in creating new pieces in exchange for cool stuff: http://www.patreon.com/tealnewcomb

Realizing it’s 2014 and I haven’t updated my watermark yet. Oops!

    Watercolor and alcohol wash - are you using alcohol with the watercolor instead of water? If you don't mind my asking <X3

    This is gorgeous. GOD I am such a fan of your work <3

      Adding alcohol to watercolor is kinda like using salt, you just splash it over the wet watercolors, and it repels the colors and leaves weird patterns that are really fun to work with!

      And thank you! I enjoy your work very much, it makes me happy that you like mine too! <3

        oh okay! I JUST tried a little alcohol on the sailor moon lesbians painting I just finished - dropping it around. It was really interesting and something I'm glad I tried!
