Hi SerafinaRose,

You are in luck,

Re transfer

I recently found a way to skip all that hard work. I bought an Epson 1290 A3 printer. This takes moderately thick watercolour paper, up to A3+ size( a little bigger than A3).So now I scan or photograph my roughs, manipulate them in the computer and then print out directly onto the watercolour paper. The ink runs a little so be sure to let it dry and don't make it too dark.

I hope this works for you

all the best

PJ

Mr. Lynch,

Since 1990, when I bought for my niece, "Oscar Wilde Stories for Children" because of your illustrations ( and Oscar!), I have been inspired by your work. Your work is reminiscent of A. Rackham and others, and now I hope to follow in these illustrious (!) footsteps - having been a mediocre fine artist, I now am studying Graphic Design because I have always wanted to be an illustrator. Thank you for inspiring me and sharing your technique. Kathleen Dougherty

I am going on in September to study Illustration, so thank you for the opportunity to see an illustrator in action. I much the more traditional methods. I prefer to work in black fineliners. Thanks again!

Peace!

@pjlynch1 Thank you for looking at my animation and giving it praise. I've been experimenting with origami and recently made a origami harpy video showing an origami harpy of my own design but animation is my first love! Thanks again!

Was shown this in my illustration class at college. Have to say this really inspired me to practice painting (was only focusing on digital work before).

Your watercolor illustrations are sensitive and beautiful! If I ever color my animations I would want to have watercolor backrounds with your kind of depth of color. Maybe you would like to see my hand drawn animated video,Magic Arrows that I made and is on my channel page on you tube. It has a dragon in it! Thanks for explaining your painting process!
