Jinjer Markley seeks the perfect balance between planfulness and playfulness in her illustrations.

 

The planning process is long, and might include pencil sketches, digital sketches, digital color experiments, watercolor swatches and a lightbox.

 

To make sure a thread of playful joy remains, she takes breaks to do “meditative watercolor:” small experiments in color, technique and motif that often inform new illustrations. In this show, Jinjer shares several meditative watercolors and illustrations connected to them.

 

Jinjer will also do two demonstrations:

• On September 12,  5-7 pm, she will be demonstrating her planful illustration process by painting animals on bikes, taking requests for specific animals!

• On September 26, 7-8 pm, she will be demonstrating her playful meditative watercolor process.
