Meerkat by Ruth Dolan

PS: Minus whiskers, which are going to be a challenge, but I might use white gouache...Always feel I shouldn't be using it on watercolour, though. Perhaps white ink would be better...

I love it !!!! it is gorgeous. May be you could try Daler Romney acrylic artists ink white of course. It is a great tool for fine lines.

Oh Beatrice- thank you, I am so glad you like it...Yes, I do think ink will be the answer. DR white acrylic artists ink I am new to... I have W&N white... Would that be much the same, or is there an acrylic element to the DR which I don't know of?

I would not know Ruth. It happens that when one day I wanted to try acrylic artist ink in the art shop there was only DR so I bought it and liked it. I must say that it is the alone DR product I own ! Never tried WN acrylic ink.

Beautiful watercolour, you have caught a lovely expression, eyes are great.

Thank you, Beatrice and Carole, for your input, very much appreciated.

What beautiful eyes! I would hardly have described this as a sketch but can't wait to see the actual painting. It's lovely Ruth.

Missed this the other day. Agree with all the comments great painting and lovely expression even without his whiskers.

Hi Ruth, This a great ( Love the eyes ). Your works improving all the time, great job.
