I’ve been working on a few paintings of wolves for a friend’s book trilogy, this one she’s really taken with, but it’s a little too simple for me to be entirely happy with. I used watercolour pencils for the fur texture instead of watercolour and used a watercolour block instead of a sheet which means this puppy dried really flat.
It’s taken a while, but not needing the lightbox crutch to transfer images and having the confidence to draw straight onto a surface is a huge deal for me. The constant buckling of watercolour paper pushed me into it!
