      Thanks Robert! Aw that was my gut instinct too, but with some more time I’ll figure out how to finish it off so it suits both me and the client 💫 They’re absolutely great eh! Hope you enjoy them :)

    Books were fabulous. I know this isn't an art question but I don't suppose you remember where you got your jumpsuit from 🤭. Thank you. Also, haven't forgotten about the watercolour ground recipes, still in bed with covid! Cheers

      Thank you! And oooo it’s one of my favourites - it’s by an American brand called Dusen Dusen - they used to make more clothes than they do now, but you can pick things up second hand, I got these via vinted 😊 oh thank you and no rush at all, I hope you get better soon!

    Hi Orla, Watching this video and your process for combining traditional and digital art made me think about masking fluid. Have you played with it? I have recently and have been able to get some wonderful effects. It would be fun to paint the building or a structure with masking fluid, let loose with your techniques, and then rub it away to reveal (kind of like magic) anyway, something to consider. These are always very inspiring :) Eileen

      Hey Eileen! Thanks so much :) That's such a good idea! I've not used it enough - but do have some in, I'll give it a whirl this month. Thank you for the reminder! Have you found ways to use it on paper, or does it need a harder/more resilient surface?

      @@OrlaStevens I used it on canvas but should work on paper since it's primarily made for watercolor artists so they can keep the white areas white. I'm using the Daniel Smith masking fluid. I hope you do; I think it's a game changer :)
