    Good timing! A friend asked me to do a pet portrait of her son’s girlfriend’s dog. Gave me 3 months notice. I’ll procrastinate for 2 1/2 months usually. But I love drawing with graphite and I’m still a bit timid about watercolor. So this showed me a way to combine it with watercolor. I’m going for it!! Thanks Louise. :)
