Here’s two gouache/colored pencil paintings I did of some galapagos animals. The project was supposed to be that I make my mom a simple bookmark for her birthday. But it sort of became something more so I ended up framing the originals for my parents and giving my mom a bookmark with some prints inside. First time trying some colored pencil over gouache too. It was fun! I’d do it again. I also posted some process work.

For the starfish image, that was an actual location we came across while snorkling. Empty sea bed as far as the eye could see except for one starfish resting every meter or so. Pretty amazing.
