Because I am poor, I am making all of my gifts this Christmas. This is a picture of one of our deceased cats, for my mom, in watercolour. WIP, obviously.

omg that is beautiful Meg

I want a painting!!!

Thank you! I'm 75% certain she is going to cry.

Believe it or not this is only like, the 3rd watercolour I've ever seriously worked at, and I'm finding I really enjoy it. It doesn't take as long to start to look like I envisioned it, unlike ****ing acrylic paint, which I always give up on long before it looks like more than blobs. It's also very forgiving, very bright paint. I could get into this.

I might have to put it off until the summer when I have the time, but it might be fun to make a lil'summat for my MB buddies.

Thank you! I drew them within a 1" X 1" grid and hoped for the best, haha.

I'm pretty sure I just ruined this accidentally.

So much for Christmas, mom.
