A gouache study inspired by an old digital painting I I did in 2019. Back then I was experimenting with every medium, and although I enjoyed the convenience of digital painting (Apple Pencil + iPad) it didn’t satisfy my love for the tactile nature of #gouache #traditionalart

Plein air watercolor at Covesea Lighthouse, a beautiful location on the Moray coast, Scotland.

Today was partly sunny, a little chilly, but hardly any wind, which is why I headed to the coast.

Let me know if you have any questions about my kit.

I still remember, all those years ago, looking up "that dnd show with all the voice actors in it," then immediately closing my laptop when I saw each episode was 4 hours long. Really, who has time for that?

Anyways, I'm still recovering from the 9 hour #CriticalRole finale last night. What a ride.

Bringing this little Valentine’s Day toad to life, one brushstroke at a time! I had so much fun painting this hoppy little guy, because nothing says love like a charming amphibian. Would you give this toad a smooch? 🐸❤️⁠

Stickers and prints are on Gallery Gerard!⁠

3 years ago today I completed this self portrait. It is one of the most ambitious watercolor paintings I've ever made.

Pink Rose, 2021

I created this watercolor rose with a gouache background for my grandmother when she was still alive. After she passed, I took it back to remember her by.🌹

Some subsurface scattering studies! Say that three times fast 😂

I can’t figure out if the light or dark background works better, so I included both ~

Happy holidays! I want to share what I have painted recently. I did a pet portrait for a very dear friend of mine. Her dog passed away this year and I wanted to paint her dog for her for Christmas.

You were a good pup Remy! You will be missed
