Watercolor a stage for a dramatic lion!

by | Jul 16, 2018 | Watercolor | 12 comments

Hello friends! World Watercolor Month video #8 is over at MFT – hope you enjoy my lil dramatic lion!

In this project I used a wide brush for the background – this is a Cosmotop Spin brush and it does a nice job of releasing pigment. Other flat brushes can do a similar thing butI also like that I can make a thin line with it sometimes as needed as well. My other brushes are Silver Black Velvet Round brushes, and I most often reach for a #8 and #12.

    Fab washing off technique, can’t see me trying that for a while though.
    What a great result for the poachers, wildlife 1, poachers 0 .
