late snow

Here's a painting I did over Christmas break, which I totally forgot about! 

I really liked how it turned out, however, so I'm posting it, despite it being spring already. 

:P

I used masking fluid to mark out the snowflake, and then cling wrap and salt to get the texture behind the snowflake. Then I used lighter watercolor paints to give the snowflake it's faceted look.

I've enjoyed some painting over spring break, and I came up with this cheetah:

It's a little different from what I normally paint, since I  actually covered the entire page! :)

Sorry the photo quality isn't the greatest...on the camera the pic looked fine, but on the computer I can see it's a bit blurry, and the color isn't as vivid as I would like. :/
