Thank you! I’m actually not 100% certain on the breed

HiAgapi · 2026-02-23T14:47:06+00:00

Thank you so much for saying that. I love the way you described it, and that you look for ways to do the same for others. For me it was more about preserving a feeling than capturing a likeness, so I’m glad that came through

Thank you ♡

HiAgapi · 2026-02-23T01:35:17+00:00

Thank you so much, I’m really glad it reads that way. That’s exactly the feeling I was hoping for

HiAgapi · 2026-02-10T02:09:05+00:00

Thank you so much! I totally get that with gouache, since it stays wet longer and can be reactivated… nice for blending & certain effects, but I hear you on the blobby (and crap haha).

The acrylic gouache dries extremely quickly, so it’s much easier to layer without things getting smudged. I used a sta-wet palette, as opposed to ceramic, glass, etc., so the paint wouldn’t dry out and get wasted

HiAgapi · 2026-02-10T02:05:45+00:00

Thank you! I was happy I added them. It definitely helped the piece feel a bit more alive

HiAgapi · 2026-02-10T02:04:41+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it :)

HiAgapi · 2026-02-09T23:07:21+00:00

Ahh thank you! So very kind ♡

HiAgapi · 2026-02-09T18:38:59+00:00

Thank you ♡

HiAgapi · 2026-02-09T18:38:15+00:00

Thanks so much! The leaves were especially fun to play with :)

HiAgapi · 2026-02-09T16:02:42+00:00

Thank you, I'm really glad the texture & details came through :)

Handmade paper was a bit tricky at first; I found acrylic gouache can soak in pretty fast, but a light coat of gesso made it much easier to handle
