good things come in small packages

I have done at least a dozen paintings this week! ..and none of them were bigger than an index card >.<

I saw a painting a few weeks back where the artist had mixed neon gouache w/ watercolours to make more vibrant colours.. Gouache is definitely on my "someday when i have money again"  list... in the meantime, I still wanted to have bright watercolour effects.. So I've been painting w/ highlighters :)

It actually works pretty well, since highlighter ink is designed to be bright & transparent..


I scribbled the highlighters on a slick, plastic wrapper (so the ink wouldn't dry too fast) & just added some water with my paint brush. VoilĂ ! Neon watercolour ;)


I like it :)

Here are a few more of my tiny paintings..


i can't even remember everything i used... obviously highlighters..
