Today's Art: Watercolor and Derwent Inktense, Happy Halloween!

 Happy Halloween!

First time using watercolor in over 18 years


I am so happy with the way this painting/illustration came out!  I used my new Winsor & Newton Cotman Field set for the background, and Derwent Inktense ink pencils for the foreground.  I also used a white gel pen for the eyes and stars and signature.  It was a lot of fun, but wow, does it ever take longer than using procreate.  I waited for the first background layer to dry naturally, but then after I added more color, I used a blow dryer to dry the second layer. So funny to need water and blow dryers to make art, lol.  


I had a lot of fun and I followed a tutorial by Draw with David, on Youtube to make this. You can find it here: Halloween Cat with Spooky Tree
