Evening comes…

02/03/2021 by Evelyn Yee, posted in Gouache

There was a gorgeous sunset across Port Melbourne, looking towards Williamstown the other day and I managed to capture it on my phone. Today, I decided to paint a scene using that photo as reference, using gouache. The result is the piece below. It’s quite a small piece but it gave me lots of joy … Continue reading Evening comes…

Painting with Gouache

25/02/202126/02/2021 by Evelyn Yee, posted in Gouache, Landscape

Gouache is such a great medium. When I want to take a break from using oil, I turn to gouache which is relatively “cleaner”, since it is water-based (read on, let me clarify :)). I don’t worry about putting on an apron to protect my clothes as I do with oil paint, and getting it … Continue reading Painting with Gouache

I have been doing a bit of oil studies in portraiture recently. Really enjoying them - these two are small and completed in one session, using reference photos from Sktchy App. It’s handy to be able to have some reference photos, especially when we were required to stay home due to COVID-19 restrictions. I am … Continue reading Portrait study in oil

Fostered kittens

Kitten I called Ginger, aka Little Sh*t I fostered 3 kittens for about 10 days recently and this is one of them. He was the cheekiest of the lot. The kittens were not named but I called this one Ginger or Little Sh*t, depending on what he got up to. He was often seen rolling … Continue reading Fostered kittens

Suburban Parks

We are lucky to have a number of good parks around and it has been really good to be able to paint outdoors and enjoy the warm weather. Also, the new “covid-norm” for my friends and I is to catch up outdoors, where possible. Here are a few recent pleinair painting in suburban parks in … Continue reading Suburban Parks

Anyway, guess what - I won in the Representational Professional category with the piece below, depicting a sculpture at the park, … Continue reading And a bit of good news
