Painting of Nala Watercolor Progression

Sketch complete, transferred to watercolor paper.  In the beginning, just a few light washes.

Same idea, but my washes of color get richer and darker, no details, just light and dark areas.

Not much change here, darkening the eye area a little.



A lot has happened since my last photo, but I am starting to think of the detail, direction of the hair growth, eye detail.



Polishing it up, adding a mat and HOPE and fret that the owner will like it :)

    1. Thank you Kara, Nala passed away unexpectedly and she is missed by her family. It is so hard to let go of a good friend.

    1. Thank you! I tried to get this to play as a slide show, but couldn't quite figure it out, maybe the next one?
