I didn’t do any drawing or painting today, but I made some swatch sheets of my tube watercolors. These include artist colors from Winsor Newton, M. Graham, and Daniel Smith. The round lazy-susan style palette is from Robax.
D is for Dhole. Dholes are a canid (dog) species that live in Asia. They hunt in packs during the day and dine mainly on hoofed mammals. The pups always eat first. At last estimate, there were fewer than 2,500 adults left in the wild. Watercolor, ink, and paint pen on hot press cotton paper, 8″ x 10″.
Waiting for my brake lights to be repaired, so I don’t have paints with me to continue work on Dholes. Instead, I’m working on E for Eastern Lowland Gorilla. Graphite in Moleskine sketchbook.
Work in progress on Dholes. I saw a documentary on these wild doggies of India tonight, and they are freaking adorable. These two are hunting as part of a pack of 8. Initial sketch on left. 8″ x 10″ ink outline on right, ready for the first watercolor wash tomorrow.
Letter C is for Chatham Island Robin. Watercolor, ink, and paint pen on hot press cotton paper. 8″ x 10″. Original for sale, and art prints will be too.
