Meanwhile, I have been polishing up and honing my drawing skills by doing 5 – 15 minute sketches and this is one I did…. theme of the ocean… and includes gold fish!

Latest progress of the Prague Carnival artwork

So far…..

I will be adding the accentuated gold details to the clock a bit later on….. and of course the rest of the artwork. I hope to have it finished within two days. It has been the most challenging but amazing artwork to work on!

A bit of Carnival Prague….

At this moment I have been working on a carnival themed Prague for a global collaboration of 80 artists that create a card each. Mine is 10 of pentacles. This year it is ‘Carnival’ theme and I would like to share the progress of my artwork with you tonight. I had started out with a grey led pencil drawing…. as seen below…..

and below is the inking of the artwork in black pen….

And now I have begun the watercolour process…
I’m using Koi watercolour pan paint with some tube paints by Liquitex and Windsor & Newton watercolours with a water brush pen. I will update further later
