The Many Faces Of A Red Fox

”Every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures.”
                                                                            ~Henry Ward Beecher



A few weeks ago I taught our watercolor class how to paint my red fox, Ever Watchful...

Ever Watchful


During the class, I painted another red fox which I named Ever Watchful II.  Because I was the teacher and walked around to help the students, my eyes and a few other areas of Ever Watchful II dried too much for me to change.  But considering all things, it still turned out pretty good...

Of the 19 students that were in class that day, these are some of the photos that I was able to take of their finished paintings.  Enjoy the variations...



















WOW, pretty amazing, aren't they!  It's always fun to see how each artists has their own unique style of painting and how the same exact painting looks so different!

  2. These are all great. Your lesson on eyes must have been spot on, they all have the most expressive eyes. Job(s)well done!
