Second Badger Ballet Dancer - Watercolor Illustration

Another Attempt at the Whimsical Badger  After I finished the series of ballet dancers and put them in frames, I decided to have another go at the badger. I wanted the indigo to lean towards navy/purple rather than bright blue. Also, this time around, I changed the design a bit. I gave her band with frills on her head, and added frills to her straps.

Whimsical Badger The final painting for the Cute Critter Ballet Dancers series is the badger. She is a combination of Prussian (PB27) and Purple Lake (PV19). I was hoping to come closer to what I think Indigo is, but it just looks like a glazed Prussian - which is exactly what I did instead of mixing the pigments before laying them down. I did the same with my metallic watercolors for her accessories.

Raccoon Ballet Dancer - Whimsical Illustration

Whimsical Raccoon I'm still working with Holbein and Finetec watercolors for this series. I couldn't adjust the blue to be represented correctly on my computer monitor. I used cobalt blue, which reads more on the bright-cheery side rather than the deeper tone of navy or prussian blue.

Mouse Ballet Dancer - Watercolor Illustration

Whimsical Mouse  The turn of the new year slowed me up more than Christmas did this year. I needed a few days in between my red fox painting and this violet mouse painting. I used Holbein's "mineral violet" and Finetec mica "Amethyst".
