Mini Animal Paintings

Trio

Hawk

Owl

Wolverine

These are only about 2 inches tall and wide. The theme was spirit animals.
These are all black silhouettes on white backgrounds and were painted with acrylics.
For a fun quiz, try "What's your spirit animal?" by Jeri-Smith Ready.

Painting in California this spring

The idea was to take an old watercolor painting you have done that you do not like, then gesso over it. We used gold-tinted gesso (for the cat painting, I did not use gesso in order to try something new, and because the under-painting was rather light). Next, we used watercolor crayons to sketch shapes. Then, we used acrylics to create new paintings! We used the watercolor crayons once more at the end to emphasize some of the shapes.
