This is a sketch I did late last night as a practice for an idea I have for later. I would love to develope a figure that would be semireal and semicartoon. I have not decided yet what animal would be the basis for that figure but it is and idea I have been playing with for nearly two years. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the last squirrel posture painting done in the series. We'll see. After that I will need to spend quite a few days to study the head area of the squirrels and the rather long figure they have when moving around, but that might be after a break or in between other paintings.
Today I got a bad hit right in my eye on volleyball practice soI'll just have to see how that and my glasses function tomorrow.
Also in future I will inclued some WIP (works in progress) and a few sketches for those of you wanting to see more than the finished products.

Another squirrel a bit different body and tail posture. I still go for a watercolour effect with the acryllics in the background.

hi again. I have been struggling with this one to get it as I wanted all day. I wanted a watercolour washed out effect in the background but changed my mind several times as to how it should be - how washed out etc. Anyway. I hope you like it.
I'll probably try to make a couple of squirrels more to explore different postures of its tail and similar.

It has been a while since I worked in acrylics so I wanted to do one tonight. The good thing about acrylic paint is that you can get an effect more similar for watercolours which was what I was looking for.
