Here’s the deer !  A herd of does usually hang out in my backyard in the winter and I’ve been photographing them.  I put out apple peels to draw them closer.  This is a watercolor on paper, 9 x 12 of two of the does – a full grown doe and her yearling fawn.

Painting Snow

I used cobalt turquoise light and permanent rose (mostly) to make the rosey gray background and spattered in Pro White while it was wet to get some soft snowy effects.  I spattered with masking before I started painting to get the hard edged snow effects.
