February Snow Bunny

5.5x8.5 watercolor over charcoal woodless pencil sketch done yesterday from an earlier desert cottontail rabbit or bunny image I had painted last year in a more realistic fashion. For this I used a #1 rigger/script liner brush and allowed colors to mix and run. Ref image courtesy WetCanvas. Painting is done in Masters sketchbook, 80 lbs. cold press. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

More Daily Painting: Cottontail

15x11 watercolor, loosely painted wet in wet of the common jackrabbit, also known as a cottontail. These small animals abound in southwest brushy pastures and love to feed upon young cotton plants trying to grow. When I was growing up in west Texas our favorite pasttime was to go rabbit hunting before the coyotes got them.
