Cheetah Crouch

7.5x7.5 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done over the past weekend as part of another online 2 hour challenge. I did crop the ref to focus on the cheetah and how he was poised to spring into action. White Nights paints were used. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Brusho Walking Elephant

4x6 Brusho watercolor crystals using the grey color done yesterday over a light pencil sketch of a walking elephant. I put the crystals on top of my palette then added water to make it liquid then for the most part did a value rendering. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Striped Rears (zebras)

3.5x7 watercolor of four grown zebras standing together discussing the day's events.  Today I painted them on Canson 140 lb cold press paper (photo from WetCanvas Weekend Drawing Event).  With the WDE, participants are given 2 hours to choose and paint their subject, then post the results at that time limit even if unfinished.  This work has now been SOLD.

Zebras and Gnus

15x22 watercolor on Arches 140 lb cold press paper of a zebra pair surrounded by gnus.  Originally I titled this "Gnus Flash" but now will change that for search engine reasons.
