#doodlewashJune2022 prompt:  Spinner Dolphin.
Did you know that dolphins and whales blow bubbles, sometimes even bubble rings? It’s part of their breathing, but they’ve often been seen playing with the bubbles, and may even communicate with them.

#doodlewashJune2022 prompt:  Beaver.
Did you know that a beaver can close his lips behind his incisor teeth, and hold his tongue tightly against the roof of his mouth, so that he can gnaw underwater without swallowing water?

#doodlewashJune2022 prompt:  Beaver. Did you know that a beaver can close his lips behind his incisor teeth, and hold his tongue tightly against the roof of his mouth, so that he can gnaw underwater without swallowing water? This was another experiment to see if I could get that glisteny-wet look of wet fur by using gold and silver metallic paint. I kinda like it. I\'ll have to play with this more, just for the fact that it scanned rather well. I\'m not sure if that\'s because of the brand of watercolor or the colors I used beneath the metallic. Possibly both. * Hahnemühle The Collection Hot Press Watercolor Paper * Aquafine Watercolor * Reference Image by Diana from Pixabay. @Hahnemühle_USA #PostcardsForTheLunchBag #dalerrowney1783 #LifeImitatesDoodles #Doodlewash #WorldWatercolorGroup #ZebraAmbassador #ZebraPen_USA @zebrateam_usa Beaver-Zebra Zensations Tech Pen & Aquafine Watercolor on Hahnemühle Collection Hot Press

#doodlewashJune2022 prompt: Red Panda. Did you know there are two species of Red Panda? Recent DNA discoveries have revealed that Chinese Red Pandas and Himalayan Red Pandas are two distinct species, though the difference is mainly in the head shape, and coloration -- more white on the Chinese Panda\'s face and more distinct rings on the Himalayan\'s tail. I was playing with chinese white and titanium white in this painting, and it\'s given it sort of a blurry feel. I\'ll probably stick with gouache to add white in the future, but I\'ll keep this as is as a reminder why. * Hahnemühle The Collection Cold Press Watercolor Paper * Aquafine Watercolor * Reference photo by 2023852 from Pixabay @Hahnemühle_USA #PostcardsForTheLunchBag #dalerrowney1783 #LifeImitatesDoodles #Doodlewash #WorldWatercolorGroup Red Panda-Aquafine Watercolor on Hahnemühle The Collection Cold Press

#doodlewashJune2022 prompt: Mushroom.
Did you know that mushrooms are genetically closer to humans than to plants? Kinda scary isn’t it?
Once again, I’m playing with a new (to me) paper, so this was a rather quick direct-to-paper paint just to see what happened.
