Watercolor Bestiary

This class has been fun, and the bite-sized lessons made learning the techniques less intimidating.

Thank you, Tamas, for teaching us how to create shiny highlights.  

This is "Inky", an octopus who escaped the National Aquarium of New Zealand by slipping out of their tank, crawling across the floor, and squeezing through a 50 meter long drainpipe right back to the Pacific Ocean.  (Inky rocks!)

There's a fine line between "bunny" and "house elf".

I didn't want to lose the little animal paintings, so I put them into a blank book I made. Wouldn't it be fun to write a poem or mini-story about each animal?

Another thing I learned from Tamas: a little bit of color (and paint) can go a very long way.
