Recovering from my New Year's sleepless night with some watercolor. This is Cat, the appy stallion, frolicking in a landscape very much inspired by Franz Marc. I used a cold press watercolor paper, which takes lots of water really well, but tends to keep bleeding colors, so Cat's outlines are more than a little fuzzy. Ah well, go with the "wa" of the medium.

I've been reminded of the existence of Artist Trading Cards, or ATCs and their kin the ACEO, (Art card, editions and originals). has been producing a cool series of ACEOs and once upon a time I used to create nametags to sell at conventions. The small size - 2.5 by 3.5 inches - makes it a challenge, so I thought I would give it a try.

Ingredients:
Grumbacher watercolors and gouache
Prang watercolors
Strathmore cold press watercolor paper
Micron black pen, .01
Pencil

No digital touchups, so you get to see it in all it's fuzzy glory.
