#aquarelics

The only way to heal your soul after finishing a series- continue with it by yourself. Used a minimal amount of black in this picture & created most of the shadows by layering blues on yellows on reds on pinks and on purples! A real challenge but I loved every minute of it. More making-of pictures will be posted later.

Today I was in the mood for a watercolor thing. It's Lucille and Priscilla, the two protagonists of my upcoming webcomic: The Withering (working title) Last week I've finished the first roughly sketched version of the story (249 pages...) it's full of crappy parts and cool parts. For now I'm sifting out the crap for the second version 👍👍 after that I'mma let it be beta read and then...finishing I hope? I feel kind of stupid for not just having written down the story before (only globally), instead of continuously sketching pages of what came to mind. I feel like I could've worked on this far quicker that way, but I had to be stubborn 😂👍 #watercolor #ink #aquarel #aquarelics #aquarel #black #webcomic #webcomics #comic #comics #comicart #bernadette #van #kleef #Lucille #priscilla #color #dog #charcoal #protagonist #oc #original #character #web #storytelling #portrait #duo #originalcharacter https://www.instagram.com/p/BypzgaBhjr3/?igshid=qzfh7brg0vc4

A Mother and her Children Sleeping on A Boat, by Bernadette van Kleef, 12/3/19, watercolor on paper I was so glad with that one watercolor sketch of my sister and her children, that I thought: maybe I should make more of those since they're so quick and fun to make. So here you go, a kind of a voyeuristic piece. #watercolor #aquarel #watercolors #aquarelics #sketch #Berncomics #Bernadette #van #Kleef #paint #painting #paints #watercolors #aquarelics #sketch #waterverf #Dutch #artistsofinstagram #sleeping #mother #children #sleep #boat #schets #asleep #portrait #voyeuristic #bleak #art https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu8jPgLjw3Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iwmdjcybc007

Finally. After hours of painstaking detail work, Rey is finished! Made with aquarelics and reference, and a little blood/sweat/tears stuff (not in the actual painting). Please do not repost, and leave this text when you reblog. If anyone would be interested in buying this, I'd love to hear from you!
