New art!

Not that great art, but new nonetheless! This is very good, because I've been unable to draw and paint both due to time, and a general feeling of listlessness caused by a long illness and too many work and school obligations.

I used Letraset Aquamarkers, because they are a new medium for me and I wanted to try them out, although I followed advice and examples from the book "Painting Watercolors" by Cathy Johnson. I love that book. It's so easy to follow.

Anyway, here are the images. I hope you'll like them! (They definitely look better live; the watercolor paper I used - Cotman - looks downright mangled in some scans, though it doesn't show any damage when I look or touch it.)

The rest behind the cut: )

And there you go. Not very good, some of them, but I had fun painting them!
