'My hamster in her feed bowl.' watercolour sketchbook, 8 by 6 ins.
A small sketch of a hamster pet, from over 20 years ago. Her name was Georgy.
For this painting, I used the earth colours: gold ochre, burnt sienna,and burnt umber. I added vermillion for her dish, with french ultramarine and dioxine purple to mix the dark tones.

This sketch is on inexpensive paper, so I hope to paint her again - on artist quality watercolour paper.
My favourite watercolour paper is Arches...however, I bought a mixed pack of paper at Christmas, which has lots of different brands to try, and so I may pick a new paper to try out.
Have a great weekend!
Bye.

Just lovely - adorable! Happy weekend June!
Fantastic painting of your hamster June.
A mixed selection of papers sounds a great idea to see what one works best.
Have a lovely weekend.
