In other news, my third and final recipe illustration recipe has been selected! I will be illustrating the delicious sounding Simplified Bouillabaisse before moving on to another project for the Epicurious blog.

Stay tuned for updates!

Sounds delicious, I’m already looking forward to it!

There is no erasing it, you have to repaint your surface and start over.
