Dear Santa

Or should that be deer Santa? :p

I did this on watercolour paper with coloured pencil, and I really like how the pencils run over the grooves in the paper. For awhile, this looked like it was actually done with watercolours, but after I added a few darker colours, it started to look more like a pencil piece.

I am going to have to try with the paper and pencils again, I liked the look and as long as I keep the colours light, it will look like watercolours. The technique might work really well with small landscapes or if I can't find any water around to use with my paint. 

Months in advance and I get a Xmas picture done. Surprise even myself sometimes :p

  3. Gawd how organised you are! I always tell myself I'll send out Chrissy cards of my own design each year, but end up in a mad panic on Dec 21st, writing, sticking on stamps, addressing envelopes all in an afternoon of frenzied craziness.

    Anyone that can guilt me about Christmas in September is a true inspiration.
