Day 14 of the 2018 Direct Watercolor Challenge: a rat, mostly. I hadn’t intended for it to look as if it was standing up on its hindquarters, but oh, well, better luck next time.

Day 7 of the June 2018 Direct Watercolor Challenge: a Hereford cow. Once I got the outline done, I decided I liked the way it looked so I stayed with only one color.

Day 4 of the June Watercolor Challenge: an alligator. This alligator is the subject of an art quilt I’m working on. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve painted it in watercolor (maybe 30?). I’ve also created a few prototypes with paint on fabric followed by quilting. Nothing worth showing yet.
I don’t know where the dark line on the snout came from. I must have fallen asleep with the brush in my hand.
