Andalusian stallion in Viviva watercolours.

Paint marker art in a small Leuchtturm 1917 sketchbook, as suggested by an activity on the Flow magazine website.

Works made with recent Scrawlrboxes. I really love getting a surprise selection of art supplies every few weeks and trying to figure out what to make with them!
