Illustration Friday-Week 17

The Illustration Friday Challenge this week captures my little quacker clinging to an umbrella to ride out the storm in a puddle..  I had fun with this one because I switched up my medium.  I've been wanting to try watercolors so I gave it a whirl.

Now, for all you watercolourist out there, be easy on me because like I already said,  this is the first time I've ever painted with watercolors.  Thank goodness for YouTube.   I still have so much to learn about washes and I guess basically everything about watercolors.    So yesterday I went to my library and found a few books on watercolor.  I will be reading them from cover to cover.

Illustration Friday Challenge topic for this week is "umbrella."  This is what I came up with.

This is a lighter version of it.  The top one I took a picture at night and this one was during the day.  I like them both but to get that stormy feel I like the darker one.  What do you think?

Until next time, it's time for me to get back to the drawing board.
