If you had to pick only one medium (pencils, watercolours, oils, acrylics, digital) which would you say is your favourite, and why is it oil paints? 😁

Flashback Friday!!

Here is a piece Gemma painted five years ago using watercolour paints and pencils. It was a part of her twisted fairytales series. In this version the little mermaid saves her own life, but she was already starting to turn into sea foam.

The Fish and the Ring was one of my first few watercolour painting that sold. It not only sold in a gallery in Australia but it was also a feature illustration in the FASERIP TTRPG manual, Epic Fantasy.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on the chaise,
Enjoying her party so;
Along came the spider,
Who might have replaced her
Now is this Miss Muffet or no?

I painted this piece 5 years ago, and I'm still proud of how it turned out, what do you think? -G
