The Ranger

Most of the forests in the area were patrolled by a single ranger. The kobolds knew this but still dared to try to sneak there way through in search of easy pickings in the village on the other side.

Watercolor Week

Having recently rediscovered my love of watercolor here are a few samples from the past. Watercolor is a very tricky medium especially for someone like me who lacks patience at times. Unlike oil painting the key is to minimize the building up of layers and to make every mark count. You can destroy a good watercolor by overworking it and unlike oils you really can't just paint over mistakes. It has been said that the most succesful watercolors are those that are accomplished with the fewest strokes. Look at the watercolors of John Singer Sargent and you will see what this means

I recently picked up my pans again and look forward to having some new watercolors to post soon.
