Description Watercolour and ink drawing of a crowd, inverted in Photoimpression. Maybe this should be in digital art? I felt it was more traditional as all I did was turn it negative (thought it looked better than original painting). Had fun painting this, started by painting blobs of colour in watercolour, big ones at the bottom of the page, gradually getting smaller towards the top for perspective, then went over it in ink, picking out human shapes - this explains why some of them look a little strange - its all from my head...

This is nice! I actually had invert the colors to see what it looked like originally. I like this either way, in the original the movement got more of my attention but colorwise this is perhaps more interesting. I'd go with this one on the computer and the original for the wall

THanks, thats an interesting point - and i agree with you, the original does look better in real life, but prefer it inverted on the computer. Glad you like it

It definetly leaks an amusing, original style that is absorbing and retains the eyes on it ...( looking for all the "strange ones " i'll wager ...at least i do as i love strange strangers in a strange crowd )

thats interesting what one can do with some blobs or stains.
Sometimes there are very nice pictures made this way. Just like this above.

Hey, this is great! I think I found another great "traditional" artist to watch! First of all, I definitely appreciate when traditional artists list what kind of materials they used on a deviation---this one in particular is a lot of fun and I also like to see artists use lots of bright colors like this too. I randomly stumbled on this painting and that made my day. Watch for sure! Thanks!
