Number 6, live animal - these two mules were hanging around yesterday and today. As soon as I got my sketchbook, away they went! I did them mostly from memory and thought they would be back for the color part. Wrong, they came back about four hours later.
I sketched the idea in pencil, then put on the watercolor of the landscape part and added the ink near the end. I put the mules in after the rest and added their color.
For your learning experience, I forgot to leave the white for the snow so the tops of the mountain was sky color so the snow is not high to the top of the mountain as it should be. I should have penciled that in so I wouldn't forget. The mule on the left has his ears touching the bottom of the bush which is confusing. The other one lines up his back with the fence almost, again confusing. It is just a sketch and not planned as well as should be. I rarely do watercolor so I am pleased with that part.
