Ginger Candy

5″ x 8″, pen & ink, watercolour and guache

A sketch of a box of my usual brand of ginger candy.  The funny ginger guy character seems to be exhibiting cannibalistic behaviour — he’s eating  one of his own kind!

This was originally painting using a mix of my usual watercolours with some cheap Marie’s paint.  The use of Marie’s turned out to be a disaster (pigments were large and grainy when thinned).  So, I used gouache for the background instead.
