I'd love to hear more about the trip you HAD planned TO GREECE (omg of all places)(the Mediterranean in me is jealous).

Back on topic: holy cow though, not coming in here in half a century means that your growth is increds to see all at once. I'm really liking how you used ink pens on these? Especially on the hut? But yes, the dome is amazing... is that Sarajevo? I like your handwriting also.
I hope you come back to read comments more than every half decade (wait, is it half a century now? I can't wait that long!) The watercolor and ink thing is my aesthetic, apparently, and I"m sticking with it.

And yes, it's Sarajevo.

Bosnia has SUCH A NICE DOME but also with this one i really love all the varying shades of bluuuuuuue. Do you use the same color and layer things to make the shades different in these instances or are they different colors all together? I'm not sure if my question made any sense.

Botswana ~~ i love how you did the roof on this one aND the background splotch of blue? the way you frame these with colors in the background is so well done ern. i love them.

and finally brazilllllllll i think my favoritest part about this one is how the colors look together. I especially like the golden shades uwu
HELLO TINY FRIEND. Can you please stop crying all over my art, gosh.

Okay, so you have questions, that I will try to answer. Bosnia: the layering is the same shade of blue with more water and then with less, and then with some black added. Apparently the really good artists don't need black, but that sounds crazy. I need it to mute, at the very least, because sometimes tones are too VIVID, gosh.

Botswana: nope, no questions here to answer. Sorry. I'm all about the blue splotches instead of sky now, because gosh, I just think all that blue can be very overwhelming.

Brazil: I like that you can tell I'm going for gold instead of yellow. Metallics are SO HARD to impart.


Brunei, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso

SPOILER!!: Brunei


SPOILER!!: Bulgaria


SPOILER!!: Burkina Faso


Speaking of metallics, that Brunei dome is an attempt at gold... I think it turned out pretty well. When I do my dome retrospective someday, I should do my 'attempts at gold' retrospective too.
