These two are hanging out together where folks hang out! Their collectors first picked up the lavender-hued piece and then commissioned it a bright friend in turquoises and lemon yellow. Each are titled with lyrics from Thompson Twins' Hold Me Now: I'll Sing You a New Song and With You Here Today

A little studio behind the scenes colour mixing.

There are so many beautiful straight from the tube colours but I can't help making them my own. Endless variation can be achieved and it's wonderful how the particles in each pigment settle differently on the paper as the watercolour dries. 💙

I'm one of seven artists in this upcoming art show in Vancouver. Here's a peek at part of a pieced watercolour artwork I made for it, featuring the show's feature colour, ultramarine blue. 🟦
