Chinese New Year 2023

 Happy New Year, the Year of the Rabbit 2023.

This mixed media painting was so fun to work on. I love Diane Antone's tutorials.

I used my light pad to transfer the sketch to Canson 140 lb. cold press. I painted with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. These are my new Japanese watercolors they are not as transparent, but nice and creamy. For transparency, I would use more water. I do like the rabbit even with the brush strokes, it kind of looks like a mahogany wood carved rabbit!
