This small painting is post card size, painted on 140 lb Watercolor paper. It was done with multiple glazes and direct painted after the glazes have dried. I am already getting a bit tire of these cows, I'll have to think of something else to paint. Maybe sheep?
These little paintings are actually a liitle bit of a challenge for me as I usually paint pretty BIG.
I like to paint on 15" by 22" usually. This is a half sheet of watercolor paper. I find this size easy for large brushes but not to big for detail. These post card size painting 3 1/2 inches by 5 inches ( actual size) can be difficult since I like to use a flat brush of at least 1 1/2 inches or a #12 round. Everything you do can help you so I'm game to try it for awhile. I think I like the 6 by 9 inch better because I can get in a bit more detail.

Hello Shanti,
Why not a rustic fence with maybe a mailbox, or an old tractor. I am responding to your comment on my blog site, and would be very glad if you consider "linking" to my site. Although I am not commited to the "painting a day" thing I am refocusing my attention to my studio. Hopefully I can get some of the images up on the paintings I have finished this week soon.
