‘She would no longer pretend to be a herbivore.’
A small (9cm x 14cm) picture is for Illustration Friday. This weeks word is ‘pretend’.
I recently bought myself a gouache set to play with, a medium I have not touched since primary school. Tricky!
For my first trial I decided to limit my colours to just white, black and ochre.
Have a good weekend!
WOW! Most people who use black end up making everything muddy & gross, but you have kept your yellows so fresh and vibrant. Wonderful work. I love the imagery. It’s more than a bit creepy.
This is hilarious! It’s hard to make a bunny without verging on cuteness too.
Very somber but lovely painting!
Very nice gouache work!
Oh man, she’s really crossed the line! The name of the bird must have been Sweet Timothy. (If you know about bunnies, you’ll know the ref.) Awesome illo though. Whoa!
This is so exquisite and very nostalgic!

Beautifully painted and quite twisted – I’ll never look at bunnies in dresses the same way again.
wat is ze prachtig gekleed ! en ze zit er zo fier bij .. er gaat duidelijk van alles in haar hoofd om…mooi !
Prachtig, mooie sfeer.
Doei! :)
This is just damn great!
Thanks/bedankt for all your very kind comments folks! It seems gouache is a hit :)
Studio Lolo could you explain the ‘sweet timothy’ refrence a little further? it seems I don’t know my bunnies well enough… :)
Lovely. Great use of such a limited palette. I might have to try that!
Wow! I just visited your website…you’re work is amazing. The fact that I love rabbits helps, but that aside, I’m a fan.

Fantastic texture, great piece. I’m a bit jealous. I’ve always struggled with gouache…
