I don’t know what held Scottie’s attention so intently — he stayed in this pose a good 5 to 7 minutes, perched on a soft overstuffed footstool in front of the chair where I was sitting. Probably a wee flying gnat or piece of fluff drifting in the wake of an overhead fan. Scottish folds often hold such silly poses.
And so ends my Strathmore Watercolor Travel Journal, filled in 6 weeks (I don’t sketch every day). The book contains only 20 pages but the paper is a heavy 140 lb. cold press, great for really wet watercolor. And, not counting a bright red bandanna, I stuck to this same extreme neutrals + muted primary + turquoise palette through the whole book, though I changed the configuration of the metal pans a couple of times. Pocket Palettes are fun to play around with — even switching from a Demi Palette to the regular size to fit in 3 mixing areas.
