Artwork: Zebra Zensations Technical pens & Watercolor on Hahnemühle Expression Watercolor Block Cold Pressed
Doodlewash prompt: Something Red
Every year Hahnemühle has a calendar competition calling for people to enter artwork. The winners get their work included in a limited edition calendar along with all sorts of other Hahnemühle paper goodness.
For the 2019 calendar, the theme was ‘Red’. I considered entering and did this study of the idea I had in mind. It was a riff on the old ‘What’s Black & White & Red’ all over, incorporating two to the popular answers – a newspaper and a sunburned Zebra.
As it turned out, I had too many projects going and decided not to work further on this. I came across my study while looking for something else (which I didn’t find, of course) and realized it was a good fit for the ‘Something Red’ prompt on Doodlewash – even though it’s more of a pink. So here ’tis, I’m sharing it with ya now!
Adorable !
Many thanks, Jackie!
Terrific sense of humor, Sandra. Sorry you weren’t able to enter this one.
Many thanks, Sharon! It’s probably just as well. The minimum size was 16 x 20 and if I’d made the finals I would have had to mail the original from the U.S. to Germany. It would have been quite expensive!
Ha ha ha! He’s great!
Thank you, Lori!
This is so adorably cute it made me laugh. I can picture him on the shores of the Georgian Bay (Parry Sound,Ontario). He’s so precious, deserves a place to hang on your wall. Wonderful humours art piece you created and painted. Way to go Sandra
Thank you so much, Joan!
