Started working on a new project. Something for @gamescapesf.bsky.social
I've never really done flats before and trying to impersonate watercolours is not my thing either so this is a real challenge!!! Based on @amybrownart.bsky.social artwork

I'm not a Shakespeare obsessive but A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of my favourite plays. Puck is such a well written character, mercurial, loveable, alien, there are so many facets.
This piece is inspired by Helena's tirade about Hermia: "And though she be but little, she is fierce."

Though she be but little, she is fierce. A moonlight miniature piece.

This was a bit of a last minute entry. Painted up a few days before Kublacon. Lots of NMM which could use a bit more work but generally happy with it.

I love teaching mini painting. This class @kublacon.bsky.social was in airbrushing vehicles. I had a great time and I hope my students are able to take this and use or on their future painting !
