Off to school


Hi everyone, this is my first contribution to WaWe, I'm really excited to have been invited and I look forward to seeing all your great work!

Two friends walking to school, I aggonised a bit before posting this, while the subject matter is appropriate and I did start with watercolours/inks but I also used a digital 'cut-out' technique to cut out all the shapes ( it's a little like cutting out paper shapes and sticking them down to form a picture).

You can see some other examples of this technique on my blog, you're all invited :)

- And as a footnote: down here in South Africa, kid's wear school uniforms.

great image--I like the friendly exchange between the two & the background colors. Watercolor in any form is fine with us--even computerized. Welcome to WaWe!

nice illustration, don't worry, I do a lot of my work digitally or combine it with watercolor, but they put up with me anyway ;) This is a great group. Oh and I love your watercolors on your blog. Lovely!

What a fun piece! I thought of my missionary son when I saw it. That's his "uniform" right now, too. ha ha. I LOVE the palette.
