Amazing work

First drawing or any art of any kind I've really ever made since, well... almost never

@william_kent - alert your art school friends 😄

since I have had at least one person outside of Dissensus tell me that they can't read my chickenscratch handwriting around the drawing (I'm not referring to the Be Transparent title at the top written in different kinds of characters), the words, starting at the top are TURN (and then you might also have to literally turn your head to keep reading) ILLNESS INTO A WEAPON

and yes, the letter A is placed where it is for a reason that I probably need not elucidate even if it's placed a bit too high

My wife let me have a go at blending, with her water soluble oils.

Basically oil-like in that you can mix colour tones but no need to fuck about with turpentine and they don't take so long to dry.

But not got that plasticky sheen like acrylics.

They smell awful, god only knows what's in them.

But otherwise nice to work with, can leave them to dry overnight, chuck a bit of water on in the morning and they come back alive.

This is not observational from a real leaf, it's a version of a watercolour by Rory McEwen, master botanical artist.

The original leaf is part of a sequence called "True Facts from Nature"
