I've recently started messing around with watercolors again after about 15 years (maybe more, I can't remember) of not really working with them much (other than an occasional bit in conjunction with Prismacolors or the like). This dragon here is severely cropped, because the poor thing ended up with a very large derriere... that's one thing about watercolors. You can't really erase!

I like the way that you used the watercolors to get a scale-like texture in his body. He looks like he has a really tough hide. Nice job.

:-) Jennifer A. Cabbage replies: "I was experimenting with using salt on damp watercolor to disperse the pigment- it makes that sort of starry/mottled effect, and I liked it and kept it as it was."
