I-F: Pattern

There are a lot of different patterns going on here - and I suppose 2 by 2 is a pattern too!


This is my submission for Illustrators Australia's annual 9x5 exhibition, where artists paint a piece of wood 9x5 inches in dimension. I used watercolours and coloured pencils for this -- I've never painted w/c on wood before so that was quite interesting!

The theme this year was "20" seeing as it is IA's 20th year anniversary. Mine is entitled '2 x 10'.

All pieces are for sale. You can go have a gander at them here, and bid! Or better yet, come along on the night if you are in Melbourne - Friday October 9th. Not long now!

You did a great job painting with watercolor on wood. I tried once and is not easy. xo

Very nice Kim! I imagine w/c on wood would be quite challenging. You did a beautiful job!
