#DoodlewashJanuary2023 prompt: Icicle.

It generally accepted that a series of small waterfalls along a river is a cascades. I realized that somehow I’d missed doing a painting for today’s prompt, so I used this experiment I’d done out of my head to play with three colors from Charlie O’Shields Sketching Stuff palette. I added a little white gouache here and there for a little spray. *Da Vinci Sketching Stuff palette *Hahnemühle Cold Press Postcard @Hahnemühle_USA @hahnemuehle_global @Hahnemühle FineArt @davincipaints #LifeImitatesDoodles #Doodlewash #WorldWatercolorGroup #art #mastoart #paintings #waterfall #nature #watercolor Cascades-Da Vinci Sketching Stuff Watercolor on Hahnemühle CP Postcard

#DoodlewashJanuary2023 prompt: Dalmatian.
Did you know Dalmatians were used as ‘coaching’ dogs, trained to run along side coaches and help move the crowds out of the way? That’s why they were chosen to be firehouse dogs when firetrucks were still pulled by horses.
I had only done my first layer for this painting, but I decided I like it so I…[Read more]
