Victoria Cross
Meet Victoria Cross. If all goes as planned, you’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the future. She’s ready for an adventure, are you?
Go-Go-Gadget Gouache!
Last weekend I had the opportunity to take part in the Watercolor Society of Oregon’s annual conference. During some down time someone literally thrust a few tubes of gouache into my hands and told me to do a little painting.…
