Playing with sepia watercolors
I'm doing monochromatic watercolor paintings.
Yeah, I know I'm encroaching on Julie's domain by doing a chibi character, but it's fun. These are all the tools I used.
This is an AquaPen. Different companies call them different things. There is a reservoir in the handle that fills with water. When you need more water, you squeeze the handle. They come in different sizes--fine, medium, bold.
Here's another monochromatic watercolor painting of Chibi Usagi. A few more of these and Julie will be out of her chibi-job*.
*Just joking, of course. She is hard at work on the last page of Chibi Usagi and the Goblin of Adachi Plain right now.

I especially love the one with Usagi on the bird and Gen. Beautiful.

This will be the last of those monochrome watercolor pieces for awhile. I fly back to California, and deadlines, tomorrow.

Those are great.
I'd like to see one with Usagi in the rain.

I assume the Usagi pieces sold once they were posted on Facebook.

I wish there was a print set. I love these images but I can't justify the expense for original art to my wife
Beautiful images though.
