A demo for @illustration_meca using @alternatebubble ‘s technique from his “Breaking the Rules of Watercolor” book based on a fantastic photo by @yagazieemezi for the @nytimes of Debra Emiko and Mala Elizabeth Emiko while fishing in Nigeria. A layer of white gouache, then watercolor on top - it’s so fun - it’s like oil painting, but faster. #burtonsilverman #meca #mainecollegeofart #mecaillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CbbqMR0satW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finally colorized this old “gouache ink resist with gouache on top” Wolverine demo for @illustration_meca with some more watercolor and gouache after a spray seal. Not done, but getting there. #meca #mecaillustration #marvel #wolverine #doyourownmodelingdespiteyourfailings https://www.instagram.com/p/CbTxuQIMojz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Filmed myself doing a demo for an in-class assignment for my class at @illustration_meca to create an imaginary animal skull, based on the work of @jeffreyalanlove (who’s work is sooo so fun). Basically drawing a semi random black shape with a brayer, then go looking for form by adding white highlights with a brayer, shore up whites with drybrush, shore up darks with drybrush - go back and forth as needed. All straight black and straight white acrylic - no mixing greys. This was about 45 min on 14x17 Bristol. #illustrationdemo #demonstration #mecaillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/B8KJq0_DXXb/?igshid=1ll1ivmdvt5g0
