Raccoon Holiday Card 2018: In a Pear Tree

Circular watercolor painting of a raccoon in a tree with a small smile on its face.

Finished mid-December 2018.

My holiday card for the year featuring a raccoon in a tree. I drew it in pencil, did a few minor points of inking, watercolored it, used white ink to clean up the eyes, scanned it, and cleaned it up a bit. Most of what you see is the original watercolor painting.

 

The text I added to most cards:

“On the first day of Holiday,
My True Love gave to me…..
A Raccoon in a pear tree.
WAIT, where did all the fruit go?”

May your holiday and new year be filled with plenty of fruits.

 

Materials: Watercolor, white ink, India ink pens

Raccoon Holiday Card 2017: Sweater Edition

Raccoon with a white tip on its tail wearing three earrings and a blue nondenominational holiday sweater

Finished November 2017.

My holiday card for the year featuring a raccoon in a blue holiday sweater with three earrings and a white tip on her tail. I drew it in pencil, inked it, then used watercolors to color it. I fixed some lines with a white marker and then uploaded to photoshop and tried to improve on the messy sweater I had painted.
