Merry Christmas!

 Watercolours.

'A merry red panda Christmas.'

The red panda family are having a day of fun; mother and baby.

There's plenty of bamboo to eat and lots of tickling games.  

I hope you will also have such a lovely Christmas day!

Best wishes from June and Susie for a very merry Christmas time!!

An attempt at capturing a red panda in watercolour.  

I love watercolour paintings by other artists.  but I find them rather demanding to use. 

Unlike acrylics, where you can just paint over until you get an effect you like, with pure watercolour, I have to really think about what I'm doing, and even then it often turns out to be not what I wanted!  Probably, I need to use them more,  practise more.

However, I'm quite pleased with this watercolour as it turned out to look a bit like a panda.  I think I'll practise painting some more red pandas in watercolours soon.

Are you getting ready for the Christmas holiday next week?

I hope you have a relaxing weekend before Christmas day.

Best wishes,

June.
