✨ Patronus! ✨

Oh dear me. I really enjoyed painting this big guy. I started on one bit of fur, added some burnt sienna, some yellow ochre, more browns, and yellows, and more...

Maybe all those years of rebelling against the system and dropping my double degree in University weren’t out of pure rebellion or angst. I guess deep down I already knew what I wanted to do, and what I would let define me. 12 year old me was devastated when I was made to drop art class every Saturday because of the all important national exams, but I dropped it anyway. This stag, so magnificent and grand in its stature, reminds me to stay rooted. Find what you love and stand up for it. Never, ever lose it to the outside world. #artistsoninstagram #illustrationart#illustration #art #watercolor#watercolorpainting #watercolorillustration#watercolouranimals #watercolour #deer#stag #artgram #artwork#illustrationartists #drawing #art🎨#artists #illustrationartists
