The Art Gallery of New South Wales x Two


It's always interesting seeing the same subject created in different ways. For an artist it's probably one of the best ways of exploring different mediums. 

 
Liz is well know for her wonderful ink and watercolour sketches. Here though she has tried out watercolour alone, followed by what she terms her 'latest craze' marker pens.  I've not tried pens like this but i can imagine they open up a new world in terms of speed.  No hanging around for washes to dry. 
 
Thank you so much for the two sketches Liz!  Both different but both definitely Liz!  I love the stamps too - aren't those fur seals great :o)

What a wonderful card, it seems as though Liz can master all the mediums! I found that markers went through my paper, are you finding that Liz? Wonderful!!!

How great to have a postcard featuring two of Liz's current passions, watercolour and marker... a bit of urban sketching history you have there Alison!

I'd say this is a collector's item. And one of my favourite places. Great card!

Liz encouraged me to dig up my marker. (Unless they are dried out.)
I agree. A great card.

It's such a big step to try out a new medium - we tend to stick to what we know - but Liz has already mastered this different medium. A lovely card.
