Happy Canada Day to anyone who celebrates, and happy July 1st for everyone else! I hope your July is an awesome one!

Here’s our sticker pack for this month as decided on by my patrons over on Patreon: Raccoons! I had SO much fun drawing these squishy little guys that I digitized the rainbow design, too. Anyone who gets sticker rewards on Patreon this month can choose an extra design. The $5 tier also gets shiny stickers for the first time starting this month!

Riley

pet portrait, watercolor / / / , ,

This lovely boy, Riley, was commissioned by a local private client. They specifically wanted an analogous colour scheme using only cool colours which added a fun little challenge to this piece. I usually rely on using complementary colours (colours opposite each other on the colour wheel) for the face and eyes to help the eyes really stand out, but that wasn’t an option here. Overall, I think this piece turned out really well, and I really enjoyed the challenge.

Tree Frog on Wood

ink painting, watercolor, wildlife art / /

It’s been soooo long since I’ve painted on wood. I forgot how much fun it is! I tried a few different things with this one. I used a white ground instead of the transparent one I normally use. I put it only under the frog, so you can still see the wood but the frog really pops. I also used ink instead of watercolours. As it turns out, ink is really pale on the watercolour ground and acts more as a stain. It worked fine for this piece, but I won’t be able to use it for darker areas. I actually did dip into the watercolours to add some finishing touches at the very end. I learned a lot working on this little guy, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I definitely need to invest in some larger wood sheets in the near future.
