New Digital "Line & Wash" Painting: Foxgloves

So the rain finally stopped the other day (and yes, I am posting this in *June*...) and the Computer Man and I decided on a day out in Richmond Park.

Also confess, it was also the Computer Man who correctly identified these flowers that we saw as foxgloves, rather than lupins, as I'd thought. (An important distinction, given how deadly poisonous these lovely-but-lethal plants actually are, by all accounts).

Anyway, the other point to note, if you're into such things is that this is still ArtRage 4, with pen and watercolour settings..but using splosher brushes that I finally discovered you can make yourself within the program. (I've only had ArtRage for the last two years, after all...:-)


Enjoy-and more soon.

"June Floral Wreath" Illustration/Clip Art for Web and Screens

It's June, and time for flowers. So I've created this illustration specifically for every kind of web or screen-based project that you might be putting together or sending out this month, from videos and newsletters to other web posts or presentations.

As ever, simply share or right-click it and link back here with credit to me (Clare Walker) if you're happy to keep the watermark.

But if you'd like a watermark-free image for any web or screen-based project that you own, you can now grab that right here via Gumroad.

There'll be more posts soon, but in the meantime, have a warm and happy June!

A Happy Birthday Animated Rainbow Gif

No, not the blog's birthday, but the end result of this animated gif (which, fingers crossed, should also be displaying below...)

Am working on this for a friend, and will be adding her name too.

Created this in Serif's DrawPluxX8, which was surprisingly quick and easy to use for the job. In fact, enjoyed it so much that there might be more little animated gifs like this coming soon...

Free Clip Art:"Work In Progress"

Made this "work in progress" for another project, but feel free to download and use it if you'd like a "work-in-progress" sign on any of your sites.

If you'd like to use this, just right-click and "Save As" to get it on your machine

Links back and attribution to BoundingSquirrel are always appreciated if you decide to use this elsewhere.

More soon....
