Welcome to the "Animals" portfolio

Most of these paintings were done with gouache, an opaque watercolor.  I love the detail that can be achieved with the creamy paint and tiny brushes.  For instruction in using gouache to paint birds, animals and botanicals click on the "Learning Center" tab above.
