My 1st painting in yrs... inspired by emmaG!


Thought I would share this with you and see what you think. Inspired by EmmaG's drawing of cats... this is the first drawing I have done in years and my first attempt at water colours. It terrifies me putting on the colour as i'm never sure what will happen. The drawing is taken from a photo of my JRT millie. Its not quite finished yet.

That looks excellent, Watercolour is somethings I haven't dabbled with...yet

Excellent movement in the dog..

If you ever need any help the people over on wetcanvas are excellent, www.wetcanvas.com then go to the forums.

I really wish more people would have a go at drawing/painting, there is no harm having a go is there? and art materials are quite reasonable.

Please please please keep us updated

That's a fantastic picture Deester!!! Watercolours are difficult to master (says the person who tried and failed). I admire anyone who can draw animals as I used to be able to do people but never animals.

DM - you better get that stove on and cook up some grub to keep our artists fed and happy
