A dear friend of mine got married last weekend, and I created a custom wedding illustration as a gift.

I’ve been experimenting a bit—getting back to combining more traditional mediums, like watercolor & gouache, with my linework.

Here’s a few shots of the process:

Rough sketchbook drawing

Sketch transfer to Canson Cold Press Acrylic paper

Color blocking with gouache

Work-in-Progress with metallic gold accents added

Final painting with inked line

Framed for gift-giving (the happy couple loved it!)
