Quiet Donkey

8x5 mixed media done today on paper in old sketchbook. Using my photo ref from a donkey we photographed in Central America, I sketched him using Winsor Newton 0.1 fine liner pen. Marks of yellow, green, and various Brusho colors were already on the paper. Watercolor and grey Brusho used on him and the bougainvillea flowers. Montana acrylic markers had been on the paper originally. Splatters using Halloween Orange were added last. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
