Color a Penguin Choir by an Ice Cave
When you’re stumped to find a background to add to a penguin card – it’s Google to the rescue! I did a search for penguin habitats, and one picture had a cool archway with icicles hanging down. I just had to try it! It reminded me of the Underwater Scenes class caves underwater….and then the little birdies from the recently-released Tweet Holidays set, with their birdie-feet and birdie-tails masked off, looked like penguins in the snow! Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
I colored these with Luminance pencils – and a word about all of the Hex Charts: if you bought them here on my blog, then your downloads are available here. But if you buy it over at art-classes (which you can now do while buying a class, all in one purchase), then it’ll be over there.
And if you’re a watercolor fan – check out my video over on the MFT blog today: I used my mini palette for it with some more unique colors! The Daniel Smith hues in the Woodward and Father Big Brush Tin Palette are: Neutral Tint, Indigo , Cobalt Blue , Cobalt Teal Blue , Burnt Sienna , Permanent Alizarin Crimson , Lavender , Ultramarine Turquoise , Sap Green , Aussie Red Gold , Yellow Ochre , Nickel Azo Yellow , (not DS: Jaune Brilliant 1 , Jaune Brilliant 2 ) Titanium White

Completely adorable. I loved watching the cave appear around the ‘penguins’. It was awesome. Thanks so much for sharing.
Love that. Yellow snow would mean a dog was there.
So glad that you are having a cute penguin week. This is fabulous, seeing the cave slowly form was amazing. Thank you.
Oh wow Sandy, this is just so pretty
Such a wonderful card! I would never have tried that, but you make it look possible.
It’s more than adorable and it’s enchanting. I saw the Ice Cave growing, Sandy you are such a great artist! Using the 801 was a very good choice, it gave the snow a more snowy look, if that is correct English, but you will understand what I am trying to say.
Thank so much for showing.
I am so appreciative of your sharing your creations. Here you’ve taken non-penguins and made them penguins. You’re a magician when using your artistic talents. Heartfelt thanks.
Love the card Sandy! Penguins are my favorite!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Love this, Sandy! Would love to try this myself!
