Here's my version of the Rookie Painter Challenge, from a lovely photo they provide. It's always interesting to paint someone else's still life set up.
I spent the day at the Royal Ontario Museum where I drew this gorgeous giant panda. Today I decided ALL sketches will be on watercolour paper, no more cheap sketchbooks or newsprint... just in case it turns out 'watercolour worthy'!
Here's my version for the painting challenge from Rookie Painter. It's on artist's quality Yuppo paper, which is 'slippery' like finger paint paper or vellum.
I drew this one with a charcoal pencil. I like that the watercolour doesn't hide the line as much as it can with a 2B pencil. I'm really trying to keep my watercolour paintings 'about line'.
Meanwhile, I'm off to New York!! Super excited about it. Should go more often since it's only an hour flight!
