Spring Harbinger

I created this watercolor for @Silky_Bee as part of the Spring To Life Swap. It’s a 5x7" watercolor on Canson Monteval coldpress 100% cotton watercolor paper.

I used Inktense watercolor pencils for finishing details and the fur texture.

Your painting skills always impress me. I’m currently trying to find the perfect spot for it.

I really love how you did the background! Beautiful painting!

I also really want to get some of the Inktense pencils someday. I tried out some that belonged to a friend years ago.

Love that you show WIP pics. We can see the rough picture and then how you beautifully add in the details! I love the simple background that still has a lot of texture and interest but doesn’t take away from the main focus.

Another cute animal…squirrel, bunny, kitten…loved them all!

@MamaRhi - thank you! I hope you get some inktense pencils soon. They’re so lovely to work with.

What an amazing piece of art! Even your progress photos are fabulous!!! What an expressive face too.

I LOVE inktense pencils and need to play around with them some more. Thanks for the reminder. :slight_smile:

It is so amazing. I love the speckles and the way it fades out.
