I was interested in the giant anteater from South America, this week. Mainly because I have a plastic toy anteater... and also because it is a very unique looking animal.
It has so many unusual features: like that long nose with a long tongue for licking up insects, and that huge tail, which it uses as a blanket on cold nights, and also, the mother carries her baby on her back.
In my watercolour sketch, I experimented with my new Daniel Smith watercolours, using moonglow, french ultramarine, burnt sienna, and black for the dark coat of the anteater. Myrmecophaga tridactyla.
And last, but not least:.
Hello from Susie! Here she is hiding behind the mirror.
Happy October...its Inktober, if you like to draw ink art!!
Bye for now.

I love anteaters! Not only are they incredibly cute, but they are fascinating animals. Your drawing and painting are wonderful. Susie is a beautiful cat!
