I’m a lover of most any fox stamp set….add Stacey Yacula’s name to it as the designer and it’s a match made in heaven in my book! Today I’ll show you some watercolor … with a realllllly simple background you can use on any scene you’re creating!

Don’t forget you can alter colors in your palette – adding a little Aussie Red Gold to the Burnt Sienna really warmed it up! And making a warm grey was easy by adding a little Yellow Ochre to Neutral Tint.


The smaller brush is a Round 8 – used for the foxes and the shadows in grasses. The sky and main green in the grasses on that first pass were created with the Round 12 brush.

Thank you so much for showing.
Great video….thank you!
Awesome creations, thanks for the video!
So so sweet
These are so cute! You never cease to amaze me with your watercoloring skills!!
Stacey Yacula draws such light-hearted little critters – love that the little fox’s tie is laying on the ground! You do such a nice job of explaining how to get a background like this – so simple… if I practice. I’m working thru the “Clouds” class right now, so this is perfect for me! As always, thank you for all you do!
