239 - THE MOUSE - DAVE EDWARDS - WATERCOLOUR - 2008
Try this … it’s fun! I allowed myself two tubes of blue watercolour, three brushes and some water (no pencils). I copied the mouse from an ornament on our mantelpiece. It was raining today, so I watched Shopgirl (Steve Martin) while doing this picture :)

Thanks Catherine. The important part of the exercise for me was to create an image without using a pencil.

Hehe..he does have a lot of character!
I like the use of colour here…a limited palette can bring out different and interesting effects!
BLYTHART replied
Yes, two tubes of paint is a fairly limited palette :) Made a change from the number of colours I usually use.

what a great idea….will give that a go …as most of my watercolours have dried up seeing as i am using acrylics…love this one quirky and really like his smile. great art

I have tried this (and yes it was fun) but not with such wonderful results as your little mouse. He’s so expressive and I really like the background pattern.

The “real” mouse is an ornament beside our fireplace .. one the few occasions where I didn’t use a photo for reference.
