ADAD #26: pattern


As I mentioned before I really enjoy making patterns, my inspiration often comes from interior magazines, colour combinations or pictures. I think I would have enjoyed being a fabric designer and printing my own fabric, there are many fabric designers who make gorgeous things, for instance Cloud 9 fabrics in the USA, see their website here.

ADAD #25: fish


The picture is not really good, a bit on the dark side, but the drawing isn't so special either... but hey that happens.

ADAD #24: dog in blue


I took the dog from a couple of days ago, and painted it in a setting with watercolour. I have never used watercolour a lot, I always work with acrylic paint, and you know you can't do everything. But I do like the transparency and the illustrative effect of it, so it is just a matter of practice, getting to know the material and use it in my own way.
