I came up with these images when I was working on some designs for new colour in magnets, which I'll be sharing soon. I loved this set of four dogs in headresses and wanted to do more with them.
They look so grumpy about having to wear flower crowns!
I decided to print out the designs on a larger scale on to water colour paper to make some small paintings. I decided to use gouache paint as a way to keep practising with it. I thought its ability to produce flat, even colour would work well for the style I was going for with these paintings.
When painting it was easier to go over the printed lines and draw them in again afterwards with a black felt tip pen.
I'm so happy with how these turned out. Gouache paint was perfect for these. I'll probably print out more copies of these designs so I can keep practising.
I'm planning to make these four paintings in to prints but for now the original paintings are available to buy on my Etsy shop.
