Latest portrait

This is the latest custom portrait I did of a beautiful and unusual looking cat. The portrait went to NY and I hear it was loved by the recipient, as it was a gift. It was done in colored pencil.

Checking the area

This is my latest watercolor of a black bear. It is a small size of 5x7 on watercolor paper. I actually had a black bear walk up my driveway last summer and disappear into the woods!

watercolor chipmunk

After seeing some amazing wildlife watercolors by other artists, I decided I wanted to try working with them myself. They have some of the same properties of working with colored pencils in that they are transparent. I liked the fact that my drawing was easier to cover ,with the paint and that the pencil lines didn't show as much as with colored pencil. There is definetly a learning curve trying to work with the water and keeping it under control! Tell me what you think of my first attempt!

Blue Heron

This is my latest drawing of a great blue Heron. I got some reference photos on a trip to our local state
 park. I used a mixed media approach for this piece. I used watercolor pencils, regular colored pencils and some acrylics.
