Winter

 This is a little study I did today, in my quest to get the perfect blend of water colors and digital "paint".

Things went a bit differently then usual because I am also experimenting with watercolor pencil. I painted with very minimal pencil marks at first... which is a rarity, I don't even remember the last time I water colored with out inking it first.

Above is with pencil lines over the traditional painting.

And last is my digital paint over the watercolor... I feel like I got a more traditional feel with the pencil lines and am happy with that... I just always wish I had more time to really finish these little projects.  Ohh well that is life.

Merry Christmas

and a happy New Year!

Sneak Peek

Again I have been really bad about updating my blog, and I don't even have the excuse of traveling this time so... I wanted to share these little details of a...

Scottish Terrier

and a....

Bubble Pipe

I will most likely post the rest of the image later in the month.

October

October was crazy busy, in a good way, I traveled (well traveling for me, which means Idaho and Iowa) I saw good friends and family, I did some secret art projects... but I did not blog.

I just wanted to share some of the art that happened last month

Above is a detail for the pioneer book I am working on.

And I did some traditional work again!  

Both watercolour images commissioned to be wall art, so I thought, without big revisions I might as well do them traditionally which was so fun! 

I finished this a while ago, you may recognize a detail of Aslan that I posted earlier but since I updated my website and put this on their I might as well post it hear as well. And speaking of Websites, I did update it so check it out www.kimberlistudio.com

Beorn

I am a self proclaimed Hobbit geek, so when I found out about a hobbit fan art contest, that is being judged by Alan Lee, I just had to do a piece to submit.
