As we discussed before, with the advancement of the electronics and stepping into the, so called digital era, the possibilities for artists to express themselves grew rapidly and more freely. The first electronic handwriting device was invented back in 1888.

Last week, I started a gouache experiments challenge with the purpose of developing my understating of gouache. So, far I’ve been really enjoying this challenge as I think it is helping me stay focused on developing my food illustration style. These gouache experiments are also helping me expand my portfolio beyond ink drawings that are…
