6x12 watercolor and India ink on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper done this afternoon. Using only mixed leftover palette paint to make a grey or neutral, I first put in an underpainting over the pencil drawing (same baby ellie repeated 3 times). Next I did a bit of modeling of values using other mixes such as quinacridone violet and green gold with UB. I rewet their backs then drew black ink across to resemble their baby hair. Lastly, when dry, splattering with a brush loaded with quin gold and quin burnt orange finished them. Image courtesy Lin/WetCanvas for August Animal & Wildlife forum challenge.
