Haunted Lantern by Meg Lyman
Around 4×9″gouache and ink.
$60 – e-mail to inquire
I don’t know. Another long cephalopod experiment. This time with gold gouache. Until recently, I didn’t know they made gold gouache. It is awesome. But it does not scan well.

I love both. Apparently so do aardvarks.

~6×12″ gouache, ink, and pastel
SOLD
I have this fairly expensive watercolor paper that is an odd size – 10.5×24.5 cm or something inexplicably weird like that. It’s been sitting around for a while, and one day I got a wild hair and sketched out a bunch of elongated cephalopods on them. After I finished the drawings (feeling very pleased with myself for letting my muse vent), I stared at them with the vacancy usually expressed by my dog when I try to teach him a trick. I hadn’t thought these out. I had no idea what colors to use.
So I turned to my friend the Gimp and did some color tests. I’d been meaning to try out this orange/blue/green combo on something, and it looked like it’d work well on this guy. So I tried it out, and it was fun, but didn’t look finished, so I cut a piece of Sennelier La Carte pastel card and made a border for it. Then I glued the paper to it with acrylic gel medium. The piece now feels finished, and I feel like a slightly bewildered collage artist.
