Al Fresco Art Club, Aug 9, 2020: The New Media Challenge

Today my challenge was to use a new medium. I chose Holbein Irodori Antique watercolors, which I happened to have in my art supply pantry. I’ve had these watercolors for years but never tried them. I was under the impression that they lacked transparency, but I was wrong. When used as a light wash they’re just fine.

In this picture you can see my Pomeranian confronting one of the bucks that roam the streets of Ashland. Look at that guy: big antlers, camoflage pants, wifebeater undershirt, open container, and a really big knife. But Chico was a fearless 8-pound gladiator. Check out that crazy look in his eye.
