Nicia


This is a little 8x10 watercolor on board that I am giving to the Pet Depot Owner for having me have the "meet the artist" day at her store.  She liked the event so much that she booked three more days in the next three months to do the same.  [This is despite the fact, I only got one commission]  So it was a struggle because I'm not that competent with watercolor but I thought I'd try it anyway.  What's she gonna say?  I started this last month, put it away for a couple of weeks, bought some gouache for the small details to see if it would help.  Oh well, that's the advantage when it's a gift and not a commission right?

Nothing to see here...

I submitted my DSFDF challenge this morning thinking I may have missed the Wednesday deadline after working and finishing this last night.

*sigh* Alas no. So a quick explanation. I'm running low on oil so I used watercolor on a Fredrix Watercolor Canvas Board for the first time. (8x10) Pretty cool because no need to tape the paper down and worry about warping and wrinkling. It absorbs the water and color a little differently but it's easy to adapt. Please don't look at my image as an example of what you can do with this medium.
