Love painting the owls, this one is no exception.Done very wet-in-wet, with a liberal use of salt.

Look Over

Painted this Giraffe on Arches hot pressed paper.Initially I did not like this paper much-it felt too smooth- but learning now to use it the right way!It works wonderfully with wet in wet,too.Not easy to handle, though.

After a week of being busy elsewhere,I enjoyed painting this one today.Feels good! Looks like I will be painting some more giraffes-they are cute :)
