Penguin Unlikely


Can you believe itโ€™s been two weeks since we were last at that Comic Book Convention? Theyโ€™re still turning up, those dodgy folk in their even dodgier costumes. I mean, look above. That isnโ€™t the Penguin from the 1960โ€™s Batman TV show. It isnโ€™t him now, and it wouldnโ€™t be him if I had more than the allocated hour to spend on him. In fact, thatโ€™s how Iโ€™d turn up at a Comic Book Convention if I were dressed as the Penguin. All wrong.

But never mind.

It is at it is. Itโ€™s another practice at painting a face, this time one without a mask, although there is still a monocle. Not that a clear glass disc offers much in the form of a face covering.

This is todayโ€™s watercolour for #WorldWatercolorMonth. Tomorrow I think Iโ€™ll paint some dots.

    I really like the baby animals. This is good but the baby is cuter.

      We’ve reached the end of that little safari… but we may go on another later in the year! ๐Ÿ˜€

    I can do painting by numbers, Tom (but I’m a bit messy ๐Ÿ™‚ ) Have a great week!

      I cheat at painting by numbers, Jo.
      Hang on – no, it isn’t painting by numbers… it’s those magic painting books where you just add water to the image and it colours itself. I cheat at them! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Dots you say? Dots are good, especially when joined together ๐Ÿ™‚

      I was thinking more along the lines of polka dots, Raili… although they’d be different sizes and all over the place as well! ๐Ÿ˜€
      I always go wrong with dot-to-dots.

    Great painting Tom. Congratulations.

      Really?
      Thanks, Cobs, but I’m surprised. This one isn’t a favourite of mine, as you could probably tell by my write up. But thank you. It makes me feel a little better about it.

        Not a favourite? Are you crazy?
        do you have your glasses on?
