  1. Thank you for taking the time to share your process – it’s a brilliant insight into your work 🙂 I have one question – and apologise if it’s a daft one – for this current project are you using digital colour, for the finals or inks/watercolour… or both? Thank you 🙂

    1. Hi Shona,

      thank you for your comment and your question!

      Digital colour or final, inks/watercolours: It’s a healthy dose of everything. 🙂

      1. Thanks, Kirsti – and can’t wait to see the final fruits of your labour!
