Llama and Cacti Painting

 I used the following two books to design this llama and cacti watercolor: Watercolor the Easy Way and15-Minute Watercolor Masterpieces. I also followed a Michaels tutorial as well as one by Sarah Cray of "Let's Make Art."

I traced the llama outline onto Arches watercolor paper and painted it with winsor and Newton Cotman tube colors. I traced the cacti around the painted llama and painted using my tube colors.

I used a Micron 03 pen to add the stickers on all the cacti.

I never thought I would enjoy painting cactus plants or for that matter a llama, but I did!

I enjoyed this painting so much, I did another!

Another wonderful painting! I plan on ordering the two books you used. I want to paint so badly and watercolors seems a good place to start! Thanks for the inspiration and for the wonderful submission to our challenge at 613 Avenue Create!
