Pack Mule

12x9 watercolor on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper done a few days ago using some of our Mexico trips photos. I omitted the man standing close to the pack mule to focus on the animal and his heavy burden. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Camel Head

7x9.5 watercolor and ink on Ecosystem paper sketchbook; pen used was Lamy Safari with grey Noodler's ink.  This was done also over the weekend.  Camel reference courtesy Christine/WetCanvas and it was painted for current weekend drawing event in the All Media Art Events forum there.  The angle of his head and the way the light was causing pink, mauve and gold tones under the shadows made me want to tackle this difficult pose.  I was surprised to learn their lifespan is 40-50 years.
