It makes me so glad I can inspire someone for even ten minutes. ;) Please do that unicorn! <br /><br />Thanks about Pre-Raphernalia as well!

After reading this sometime, I may pull out my paints and work on that unicorn of mine for, well... maybe ten minutes. Which with me is good.<br />I will be checking out your preraphaelite blog, I'm a fan. Oh, and speaking of which, I recognized your work from Kissed Mouth... and it's HYSTERICAL, and gives you such a special feeling to have these people be special to you and appreciate the fun way you're handling them. Well, I'll be back.Pound Foolishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946866454007134116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400646291212084720.post-69090265530957284922013-03-13T20:58:58.358-07:002013-03-13T20:58:58.358-07:00Thank you for your kind words, Robert! Gouache is ...Thank you for your kind words, Robert! Gouache is my favorite medium and I love looking at old illustrations done with it. It's a very versatile medium and you can get some wonderful effects with it. The bonus is that it also cleans up very easily, unlike acrylics and oils! <br /><br />It's so sad about the "disposability" of that advertising art you were able to see. :(<br />Traditional media is becoming very rare in graphic arts these days...Raine Szramskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466243462355471330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400646291212084720.post-80942938554335710282013-03-13T12:18:36.004-07:002013-03-13T12:18:36.004-07:00Good to see people still using good old-fashioned ...Good to see people still using good old-fashioned gouache! A long time ago I used to work in a commercial art studio in London where the most fantastic works of art were run up by people working with gouache - and all to be used on advertising billboards and in magazines, seen for a few days or weeks and then forgotten. This looks delightful. And Keats a most worthy subject.Robert Stephen Parryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03747616730405354161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400646291212084720.post-77592802763831216812013-03-13T08:54:42.097-07:002013-03-13T08:54:42.097-07:00Thank you, Samantha!

But this is only my system and other people will do it other ways, lol.
