This is a pencil and watercolour sketch I did on location of a derelict building near where I live. You can see the trees growing out of it.
This was ages ago though and I've watched it be renovated and restored over the last few years.

It's Mario Mario, and Luigi Mario.
They're the Mario brothers.

Thank you! I'd forgotten I used to do just pure watercolour stuff. I might post some other old sketches I found through January while I work on new things (or procrastinate on new things π

#kidlitartpostcard day snuck up on me!
But I spent some time at the end of 2025 organising my files & illustrations and found lots of old traditional stuff that I still love
So have this watercolour (+ a bit of white acrylic for the feathers) of some budgies

One million percent this.

Yes! Although the thing I want it for only has a few places that will be like this. So I might have to experiment a bit more and get a nice selection of greys and browns from these colours π

I've been having a go at creating some new colour palettes. I wanted something with a bright pink/purple. I super like this combo!
