“One of my very first pieces in
watercolour. I used only three colours
(pink, blue and yellow) for the lady.
Other details were added in pearly

“Original characters in a personal
project inspired by Celtic motifs. For
the background, I added graphite
layers and made random marks with
a putty rubber to create texture.”

“An updated version of a
cervitaur I had created for Inktober

for the kimono, so experimented with
materials like metallic watercolour,
glittery gel pen and gold leaf.”
