When I went to run some errands this afternoon, there was a wee bunny just chillin' in my side yard. Imagine my surprise when he was still there when I returned, undeterred by my car pulling into the driveway in front of him. I decided to snap a few photos with my phone and paint the brave little guy's portrait.
Watercolor on 140 lbs paper 10x7
I am pleased with how the bunny turned out and the amount of detail I achieved. But I am even more pleased that I was able to layer a light wash of burnt umber and pthalo over the top of the bamboo on the side. Normally, I would not want to ruin the under drawing and left it as is. The drawing would have been all mid-tones and very boring as a result.
