Simply watercolor class (Day 2)

I am back with my homework card for day two of Kristina Werner’s Simply Watercolor class. You can still join the class if you are interested (Onlinecardclasses.com).

Day 2 – Simple critters and animals

In today’s lessons, the objective was to create cute animals from simple geometric forms. I like my finished card but I still struggle to create light washed when coloring my critters.  I always end up going for bright and bold colors, even when I am trying to keep it light.

Here is the final product! I really like my cute bear, weird ears and all!

I worked really hard on this card because I want to give it to one of my best friends on her graduation day (tomorrow!!). I know she is going to love it even if is terrible, but I wanted to impress her with my watercolor skills.

I will let you know what she thinks about the card…
