Not a very exciting post today I'm afraid. I spent the morning going through the books from the library. Lots of reading! At least 2 of the books I am seriously interested in owning already. Unfortunately the one by James Gurney is out of print. For some reason this means that anyone selling it can price it from $80 to $700 in new or used condition. Talk about a mark up! I guess I'll just have to do my best learning from the book with the time I've got.
Not to leave you with nothing, I found this cool video on youtube by artist Alison Woodward in Vancouver showing how to use ink and watercolour to create an illustration. I found it very instructive.

The rain is finally at an end here - hopefully I'll be able to work outside soon!
