    Prompt #dessert The Fennec Fox is a dessert … oh wait. That’s ‘desert’ fox. Close enough, right? Lol! These guys only weigh about 1.5 – 3.5 lbs and have the largest ears to size ratio of any fox.

        Really!? It looked so flat to me ….tried to darken the shadows…I’m glad there is depth….Thank you Sandra!

        • Profile picture of Sandra Strait
          Sandra Strait replied 2 years, 8 months ago

          Definitely! The leaves extending past the edges create a close-up feeling, while the darker shadows imply leaves farther away. Add in the overlapping of the leaves and you have great dimension.

    It Was a beautiful reference photo from Pixabay until I got my hands on it. I use student grade paper for these prompts. Once again note to self: cannot overwork regardless of paper. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 20180510_231518

        Thank you Julia: not my idea, it was in the photo and that’s what I loves about it. Unfortunately, I was unable to make the rock the pool is on appear high up compared to the rocks/beach surrounding it; am off with my perspective. Much more to learn.

      A lighthouse is a wonderful metaphor for Doodlewash! This site is a beacon for creativity and sharing. I love lighthouses, too, and have been inside several on the West Coast. There is at least one lighthouse in California in which you can spend the night!

      Glass and metal and light – all the things that you are best at, and you’ve outdone yourself with this painting! Hoping to get this shiny trio for my birthday. Can’t wait for the World Watercolor Month!

      Beautiful lantern! They are wonderful things indeed – we’ve quite a few of them on the coast here, mostly converted into accommodation, but some still work. I like the doodlewasher metaphor, but now would also quite like to see an actual lighthouse giving out different colours!

      I can’t believe it’s nearly July again, only fifty days!

        Thanks, Jacob! 😃💕 hehe… yeah, one day I’ll actually paint the exterior! They’re such amazing buildings. And yay for World Watercolor Month! Yep… had to add a countdown again. Though it’s probably a day off for folks in other parts of the world. They always get to start first!

      I grew up in Door County, WI where there are a bunch of light houses. I never get tired of them, or the foggy weather that makes them so valuable.
