Kitten ACEO

Another new ACEO painting created using Inktense and Gouache. This white kitten ACEO measures 2.5" x 3.5".

When composing paintings, I like to place my subjects in a setting of my choosing. When deciding on a background, I like to consider color, design and mood.

While I strive to create the illusion of detail, photorealism is not my goal. I try not to get too bogged down by minute details.

This piece just SOLD on eBay. Thanks for looking!

One of my latest Intense paintings

Here's an example of my one of my latest Inktense ACEO painting. Inktense Pencils are similar to watercolor pencils, but produce pure, clean, extremely saturated yet very transparent color. They are inks - not paints. Once the wash is dry, it is fixed, you cannot lift it. I prefer to apply the color by brushing a wet brush directly against the pencil, then applying the brush to paper. This makes ink washes portable. I can do these small ACEOs while sitting on the couch, or just about anywhere. Such fun!

This piece and several of my original ACEO's are available through eBay.
