The Caterpillanarian
The caterpillar wasn’t feeling very well. Faeries tend to specialize in certain things and they have a magic gift – wisdom and knowledge. They make no distinction between great or small, fast or slow. Everybody and everything matters a lot!
The caterpillanarian, who specializes in caterpillars, has arrived, and she will make sure that everything will be okay in no time.
The forrest is watching, there’s faerie dust all around!
Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Hi Colorblind, thank you for the compliments and your tip, never saw that before…oops! I used the reply button this time ;-)
About my techniques, I use acrylics on illustrationboard for this kind of work, so I can work smooth and add texture if needed.
I like to use all kinds of brushes and even my fingers. If you look closely, you can see my fingerprints in a lot of parts of my paintings. I might do a step by step some day and post it on my website.

thanks for hitting me back …with a reply …lol
what are illustration boards exactly…...that would be very good thanks for your time
i’ will be looking out for your work….!!!
Marissa Oosterlee replied
haha! You’re funny ;-)
Illustration boars are pressed boards that you can use to paint and airbrush on. You can erase, scratch and paint on it without damaging the surface (of course it has it’s limits). I usually take Schoellershammer G4, or clayboard. R4 is rough G4 is smooth.
