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.

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...)

These are a collection of all my travel sketches this summer, painted in gouache (with some coloured pencil details...)

With art supplies and location notes on the back of the zines for my fellow nerds ✏️🎨🖌

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!

I was taking detail pictures of my sketchbooks and materials at the same time so more and more stuff piled up!

I'm really fond of this one background character I sketched for my "Halls of Mandos" illustration. She'll be watching the scene unfold...
