Watercolour Tex!

I got some new watercolours for my birthday and figured I would paint something to test them out! I used this to test out a few skills - colour mixing (this new pallette is limited, with only 12 colours, which was intentional so I could rely less on having the colours there), gradients (which I tried on Tex's tail), and lining with paint (I usually have really bold, blank ink lines in my art). I'm really pleased with it! I have a ways to go, yet, but I'm quite happy with what I've produced here 

Eventually I'd love to be able to recreate some of the backcard artwork I'm especially fond of. This particular drawing was inspired by the front of Tex's backcard.

So soft and lovely! Watercolour is so hard to control but the gentleness of the result just cannot be done any other way, well done!

Great job! The colours look very accurate!

I love watercolours so much. Just look at the way the paint has dried in the symbols leaving the dark edge - perfection!

He is really great!  I love Tex and it's nice when drawings are made of him too.
I also like watercolors, it's so nice to make pictures with them.

He looks adorable! 
I absolutely love watercolors! Great work with the color mixing! That´s something that can be very tricky.
Is that the W&N Cotman colors btw? I love those
