#NatureDoodlewash (Loosely, I hasten to add!)
Weโve kind of found ourselves a little lost on the Nature Trail today. Knee-deep in snow, which is nice and refreshing for the time of year, we come across the most rare of rare creatures: the Icewolf. Occasionally seen in Cheshire, they are normally found around, strangely, unused stations in the south of England. Legend has it they are trying to explore the long abandoned buildings, but they are always thwarted either by security guards or security fences. But, they persevere!
In actual fact, Icewolf is a blogging buddy, who โchallengedโ me to paint an Icewolf in a comment on a recent post. I find it hard to resist a challenge, particularly one that involves me sploshing a little water around. Iโve recently gotten into creating actual โpaintingsโ (at the moment I use that term very lightly, but Iโm enjoying the process so Iโll stick with it!), so this was one challenge I had to have a go at โ time permitting or not!
As in my last Doodlewash, I used watercolour pencils for this creation. I thought I had used a lot of water as well to blend and spread the colours around a little more watercoloury, but looking at the lines on this that doesnโt appear to be the case. However, there are areas where the watercolour effect is evident, so Iโm happy with that. One of the eyes is a little dodgy, but on the whole Iโm pleased with this result. Itโs the first Icewolf Iโve ever painted, or pencilled, or whatever the term is. Next time, Iโll get the paints out again. Iโm liking the watercolour pencils, but Iโm not really sure if it falls under the watercolour umbrella properly.
