Do I see that you used some rubbing alcohol for the spots, or are my eyes deceiving me?
And how did you do the sparkles? they're really cool! And also I must know how you did the super interesting texture on the ground
Ahhhhhhh just tell me all of your watercolor secrets!!!

Yes, I used rubbing alcohol on the owlkapi. I kind of messed up a little in what I was *trying* to do, so next time I'll know better. XD The ground was done with giant hunks of irregular rock salt.
The sparkles are really simple! They're just white gouache. I did little dots, and then when those were dry I dry-brushed tiny little lines out from them.

ahhh, I love rock salt. We only have table salt and it just doesn't give you the same effect...
Ha ha ha haaaa, you have given up your great secret and now I will steal it mwa ha ha!!!

Hahaha! Well I have only just started with watercolor, and I'm like, "USE ALL THE GIMMICKS!" I found the ideas in books. XD
