I decided to try something different. I'm still relatively new to the watercolor medium. It's been a lot of fun, however I wanted to get a little technical and do some layering so I drew this little kitty (I call it Puss in Boot :-D). I mostly wanted to do the boot (couldn't you tell) and I was happy how it turned out. I just layered yellow ochre, cadmium yellow and burnt sienna with a purple (made from ultramarine and vermilion) and got some beautiful ranges of color. Not bad for a first try...I will definitely employ this technique in the future but mostly moreso for humans and objects.

Looking back to my first watercolors just a few weeks ago to now I would definitely say I have grown considerably in my understanding of the medium...I'll be sticking to this for awhile.
