Dog Days of August

8 3/4 x 12 inches watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper drawn with Magic pencils today and painted.  The pencils are watersoluble and come formulated with 3-4 colors in each variety.  Marks are different colors and can give an artist a jump start to expressing creativity.  This dog has a sandy brown longhaired coat and light brown eyes.  With the Magic pencils giving me suggestive line ideas, development of a more colorful innovative subject resulted.

Pals

5x7 watercolor of two friends, Saunie's gray tabby cat and her lovely large brown dog, basking in the early morning sunshine. This is on Saunders 140 lb paper with American Journey paints.
