Lazy Days

This is my watercolour submission for the fair this year, a cheetah. I hated this painting while I was painting it. I couldn't get the drawing to look right, but I figured might as well start painting and see what happens. Well, things kept going down hill the first few hours of painting, but then things started to turn out good, it got better and better and I was finally enjoying myself, and in the end I'm very happy with this for a watercolour. It is the most detailed watercolour I've ever done. I found a method for fur that works really well on canvas, I would imagine it wouldnt work on watercolour paper though, it would wear down too much. For this reason, I prefer using canvas for watercolour because it doesn't warp and it can take ALOT of scrubbing and layering. I might do a tutorial on it when I find the time.

EDIT- this won first place in the Intermediate watercolour category
