Short-tailed weasel #97


A weasel hunts through a pile of rubble.

Ink and watercolor on Winsor & Newton 140# hot Press ..... a way nicer hot press than the other two I tried. I had poor luck going back over a wash on the other two, but here the paint was much better at staying put. .... of course it meant the paint doesn't lift out as easily as on the other paper. ... a great paper for combining ink and watercolor washes.

A lovely painting, Elva! I love the grays and the browns together. You really made the weasel stand out beautifully against the rocks.

Ooohh., Elva. I like this little fellow. He seems to glow in the sunlight.
