Cocoons...

I love the element of chance that is always present in painting with watercolors... even though sometimes it turns out ugly and is hard or impossible to fix. I have a large collection of half painted pictures standing in my corners to prove it. Because I wanted to not ruin this one, I scanned in my line drawing before painting the background... knowing that I can always try something digital if my watercolor goes awry. But I like it :) Now all I want to do is create the creatures that come out of these... festive pickles!

  5. A really nice approach to the topic. I like the varied patterns and the shapes of each cocoon. Your water color background is a lovely success.
