Random Project of the Week - Red fox watercolor

I painted a red fox in watercolor recently as part of an online art swap.  I really enjoyed painting this little study and leaning into the softness that can be achieved with watercolor.

This time I experimented with a different technique to transfer my sketch onto the paper.  I photographed my sketch, edited it digitally, then printed it out in a light purple color onto the piece of watercolor paper.  I think this method worked very well for this particular piece.
