Description
An ACEO in ink & watercolor on vellum (140 lb), 2.5 " x 3.5". Done to a prompt "Forget Me Not" at one of the Sketch Fest events. I've been doing a series of "Flower Spirits", kittens, and mermaids at Sketch Fest. I still feel terribly confined when I work on a piece of paper this small, but these little pieces get done quickly and sell fast, so that's the charm and the reason why I make them.

This is beautiful may I ask how much you charge for such a card and if you think the amount of time and the prize are in a good balance?

Most of my original ACEOs currently sell at $30 to $35 range, as high as $50. For me, it is. ^^

This was done the old-fashioned way with ink & watercolor. I do both digital and traditional art in my work. Not all computer art is all computer program generated. A lot of "hand" work goes into many digital artists work, including mine. Not all computer art is Poser rendered or photo-manipulated.

ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions, & Originals. It is a miniature art measuring 2.5" x 3.5" (6.4 cm x 8.9 cm). They can be original or prints. This is an original in ink & watercolor as it is written in the description.

Beautiful of course!
So much detail. How long does something like this usually take you?

Actually longer than I would like. XD lol I do a lot of wet-on-wet as well as dry brush detail, so there's always a lot of drying time involved. This one probably took me a little over 2 hours from pencil sketch all the way to highlights.

wow! Well, it's pretty amazing! Is there a reason why you like water colour so much?

I just like the way it looks and the way it handles. But majority of my work is actually digital.
