They're so loose. I would love to have the courage to use them for a final book - thanks for the vote of confidence! I saw one of your videos on Youtube - of the dragon drawing to painting... such beautiful work. You seem to manage to keep working wet into wet without bleeds and watermarks. I didn't see you rewetting but you must have had to let it finish drying... That would be a mammoth job to just manage the moisture, and work around and around the paper. The technique was beautiful. You seem to get an almost Dulac-ian quality to your washes in places - lots of sediment and richness in your darks. I get too impatient to wait sometimes. Pretending that I can keep going on a wash even though I know it is slightly too dry or patchy. But it's a wonderful medium. I'm keeping an eye on your blog too. I hope the auction went well. e I always like my roughs and dummy books best. They’re so loose. I would love to have the courage to use them for a final book – thanks for the vote of confidence!

I'm really enjoying following yours. I love these roughs. I think you should do a book just like this, maybe just colour them in photoshop. All the very best PJ Hi Elise
