More Exercises


Doing the tiny brushstrokes for fur is hard and tedious. I may need a different brush. And more practice.



A young salamander aka eft. I followed the directions re leaving white high lights and am pleased with how shiny this critter looks. No fur but lots of tiny dots.


Himalayan Blue Poppies. Still not satisfied with the shade of blue, but I added the Himalayas to the background.

More fur--argh!

I think they’re delightful.

That rabbit almost looks real...or a real painted rabbit. Well done, I'd say!

What matters is that you're still finding new ways to be creative -- and you're having fun. Perfectionism will ruin the fun. These are delightful little paintings.

Especially that rabbit is great! And the fox looks like he could be a character in a fable. I concur with Marcia's comment: no black outlines. (Same as with embroidery or cross-stitching, for that matter.) I love seeing how, from one picture to the next, your techniques are improving and your skills are growing. Thank you for sharing.
