Putting together a new blog/portfolio of my work (and getting into the habit of posting) is a major work in progress. But, while I work on that, I thought I'd share a new painting...
This is watercolor, watercolor pencil, and a tiny bit of gouache. The painting is loosely based on the fairy tale Snow White and Rose Red in which two sisters befriend and enchanted bear and later rescue him from the evil dwarf who cursed him. The actual story is pretty bizarre, like most fairy tales, but it worked as a concept/starting point for this painting.
And, here are some of the bear sketches and a thumbnail of the
preliminary drawing I worked from. I'm glad I practiced beforehand, I
think this might be the first bear I've drawn. :)
Thanks for visiting, more to come soon!
