Day 7 of 30 day challenge
Didn't get chance to paint but had one in reserve... another mas card. I had two squirrels I wanted to paint this second one is from a photo by John Robinson and is my second attempt. As you can see there is a pattern to these paintings as I want them to gel together as a collection. I choose a palette I like which I think will not only compliment the subject but at the same time be an attractive colour combination and portray a festive feeling.... I think this may be a bit busy looking as I have gone overboard with the snow!! But once I have a few I will choose the best and get them printed... he also looks rather well fed!!

Love your use of color here Judith. You define the squirrel beautifully with it.
ReplyDeleteLove both your squirrels Judith - I'll be painting another squirrel before the end of the month - a grey one next time though! Just wondering how you do the snow - is it white gouache or another method? I must think about Christmas cards!
ReplyDeleteI like this squirrel and the amount of snow, certainly gives it that Christmassy feel
