Hi #portfolioday 💙

I'm Evelyne, painting with acrylics and watercolors...
Enamored with mythology, epic fantasy, gothic horror, and the color blue.

Looking for more book cover and interior illustration work for later this year.

🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂

So share some of my paintings??

In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands.
The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention.

Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane.

Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury.

Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

I actually LOVE gouache dried! Mostly cause I carry them around like this for travel sketching, and like you said, I start with watercolor-y layers and then slowly shift to more opaque gouache-y stuff.
My secret ingredient: A single fresh paint, usually Permanent White, to mix my dried gouache with

I've actually never tried acryla gouache, though I've heard (and seen!) only good things! I paint mostly in acrylics but often like to add matte mediums for that final finish :) And I've never tried jelly gouache, either, so really, you've experimented more! Mine are just used like opaque watercolor

Thank you so much! And btw, using gouache for final opaque touches on watercolors was how I started using them, too - it's a good way to get to know them! :) Which ones did you get?

Oh, I never even thought about using a mirror!
The white cardboard has been amazing for me, as my light is pretty directional even at the best time of day, so it makes the shadows much less noticeable, and the colors look more vibrant!

Character designs to populate the Halls of Mandos ✨

(mostly, I'm procrastinating on Lúthien and Námo's costume design by sketching random background elves...)

It's a large window where I get indirect light that's great for pictures around 10-11 am only 😆 and I use a large piece of white cardboard as a reflector!
