I decided to paint a newt tadpole for the prompt. At this stage of their life they have external gills, and can stay underwater. As adults they lose the gills and have to come to the surface and take a breath of air every so often. We have lots of newts in the wildlife pond in our garden.

Interesting info and a very nice sketch!
-
Thank you Zertab.
-
-
Great job! I’ve never seen one in real life.
-
Thank you Jessica. Even though we have frogs in the pond we never see tadpoles, I think the newts eat them all.
-
-
Very nice.
-
Thank you Victoria.
-
-
This is very cool Gary! I have seen full grown newts but never the tadpoles. Nice painting!
-
I occasionally do a bit of pond dipping and I see them then.

Very good painting and very interesting information Gary!

Ooh, great water bubble. Nice, vivid color.

Many thanks, Glenda!

Sandra, you never fail to amaze me! How did you get that effect?
-
Thank you, Brenda! I used gel pens on a soft watercolor paper. If you look closely, you’ll see the linework.
-
It’s amazing
-
Many thanks!
-
-
-
-
Awesome!
-
Many thanks, Zertab!

This is so cool Sandra! I love how you placed the polliwog in the drop of water!
-
Thank you, Lori! I saw the reference photo and had to try it!
-
-
This is great, Sandra. The raindrop is really good.
-
Gorgeous! Love the sparkle! I didn’t know what a polliwog was. It reminds me of the song lyrics “Sing polly wolly doodle all the day!”

Beautiful.

Zertab, I’ll be honest I laughed when I read your description because I totally understand!! But we are our own worst critics and I think that’s what makes us strive to do better! But your kid is not a disaster! Very well done!

Lol thanks a lot, Lori 😀. This face has none of the cuteness of my nephew, whose photo I used as a reference.
-
-
I think it’s really good, Zertab.
-
Thanks so much Gary 😃
-

Awesome! He is really cute. I recently bought some finer tipped pens, those might be good for subtle facial features.

Thanks for the tip, Jessica! I must get some fine-tipped pens soon.

Thank you, Jessica! I used a different method than I usually do. It takes longer so I’m not sure how often I’ll use it.

-
Very realistic. Like the texture.
-
Thank you, Everett! I used a method that takes longer than my usual, so I don’t use it too often. It’s fun to do when I have time.

Lovely Sandra!
-
Many thanks, Fatima!

wonderful painting. the fur is so fuzzy..nice technique
-
Thank you so much, Pat! It’s a technique that takes a bit of time, so I don’t use it often, but gouache lends itself to doing it.

Totally perfect teenage tree, I have seen that look on my kiddos eyes when they were teenagers. Now they are raising teenagers. Life is good and so are my teenage grandchildren. Very good job.
-
Thank you, Brenda! I was hoping this would resonate with everyone who’s dealt with teen-agers. Especially those of us who used to be one, lol.
-
-
Oh my gosh again – Sandra that is delightful. What an awesome awesome sapling and yes … lol … just like a teenager :). Thank you so much for sharing what you used … lol I don’t even know what a technical pen is. I’ll have to look it up .. lol.
-
Thank you, Zoie! There are lots of different kinds of technical pen. Generally, it means it has a rigid, straight nib with a slightly rounded end. They can be made of metal, plastic or fiber. The ones I use most often are fiber-tipped in .08, .05, .03, and .01 sizes. I use the Zebra pen brand, but other good ones of this kind include Pigma…[Read more]
-
Thank you so much Sandra 😊. Can you tell me when gouache is used?
-
Gouache is a watercolor but formulated to be opaque and has a flatter, more velvety appearance (though many brands of gouache these days have more shine). You can use them for washes like traditional watercolor, but they are more commonly used like acrylic – just enough water to give them a consistency of heavy cream. You can paint light colors…[Read more]
-
Thanks Sandra 😊

Fabulous!
-
Thank you, Zertab!

Ha ha, brilliant. Great painting, Sandra.
-
Thank you, Gary! I definitely had fun with this one!
-
-
Hahaha Sandra! This so looks like a teenage angst tree!
-
Thank you, Lori! When I discovered the information that saplings were teen-agers I knew I had to do something like this.
-
-
Oh I just love this and I love ents!
-
Many thanks, Jessica! I started out thinking about dryads, but decided it was more like a young ent. I like it when the artwork has a decided opinion on what it is, lol.
