Wilful Ink

24/02/2026

I cannot stick to one style or medium.
Different paintings require different paints.
My favourites are watercolour inks, but I'm a mixed media artist.
Have you tried acrylic gouache? What did you think?
Do you prefer your paint to be reworkable or stable?
These are for a lichen painting on canvas I'm working on.

Inspired my amazing photographs of their beetles I've started painting a few of the variations.

The second slide is their chart showing some of the patterns and colours in their collection of MTU beetles.

The forest is a beautiful place to live.
So much inspiration in these tiny worlds.
Do you stop and notice the details around you?
