My aunt wanted a small painting of a fox.
I think I delivered 😊

And, yes, that is my tiny palette and tiny paper on a tiny clipboard with a tiny paintbrush. I love it 💙

Trying to get better at fur. I think I did ok.

This is from a tutorial by Emily Parker Varner.

Random fact: Olmesartan tablets smell exactly like buttercream frosting. I guess it's to encourage people to take their blood pressure meds?

Nuthatches are one of the few species of birds that can hop down trees face first. It's quite adorable.

I bought some watercolor postcards to do some small pieces in between the bigger ones. Here are a few flowers I've done today.

Another arctic fox.

You can't tell in the picture, but I used glitter paint in the eyes, rocks, and some of the fur.

It's definitely been challenging, but I think it's finished.

I've been using Ultramarine deep and Burnt umber or burnt sienna (the reference pic has red-grey spots)
I messed up the tail almost immediately, but I'm gonna try to fix it with gouache.

Oh, I'm bad at preserving the white of my paper AND mixing greys?

Let's paint an arctic fox!

It'll be fun, I said... 😖

Fur is hard and I'm still learning how to make it work. 😬

I've always loved foxes: mysterious creatures, a beautiful blend of canine and feline.

I miss her. 💙

Hate is guiding my art through this tough time. Whether it's fur or fabric or whiskers, she's helping me improve. 💙
