Sunday Sketches - Balloons

Dreams of Balloons, acrylic, watercolour pencil and gel pen on illustration board, approx. 250 x 200 mm
Still more experimenting with paints in line with yesterday's post. I was mesmerised by this idea the moment I saw it in the paint. It has it's faults, but I'm happy with the movement.


Since I spent a good part of today doing this, I'm submitting it to Sunday Sketches. Drop on by and see what everyone else is up to.
