I’ve learned a lot, improved my painting skills, and I have a beautiful set of watercolors to enjoy.

Today I stumbled upon the inspiration for my next art series : Wandering Bert. I don’t know what about it clicked for me, but after looking through it I’ve decided to do as series of Fifty-One Illustrations. (Fifty-one for me next birthday?) I’ll draw, draw, draw, and play around with whimsical subjects, humor, and fantasy. And it’s a perfect excuse to finally buy a set of Copic Markers. WOOT!
