It's about time a bust out my favorite watercolor medium again..NEOCOLORS II.
I was inspired greatly by a photo I saw on Pinterest by Mallory Mckinnis titled "Squirrels".
Reasons being: 1) squirrels were in the pic. 2) I can use my watercolors to get this effect easily.
I grabbed my fabric album..and sketched a design with a Stabilo ALL. I applied a layer of clear gesso in the areas I plan to watercolor. I wanted the soft texture elsewhere to remain the same.
Then two easy steps...color..and paint with water.
wet canvas above....dried image below. You can see the vibrancy of the colors stays true.
And I added some highlights with a Stabilo ALL pencil. And for now I think it's complete. I like having the elements of the feed bag show through especially the star.
