Okay, I know you were expecting some information on the thumbnail sketches I promised last time. I did get some work done in that way. I still haven't decided what to do with the owl, but in searching the internet for inspiration, I came across a new artist (to me anyway) that I have absolutely fallen in love with!
Now, obviously when I say I've "fallen in love with her", I mean her work - it's fabulous! She's a watercolorist too and she works in what she calls "miniature painting". I looked into it further and she doesn't paint small images, the term "miniature" refers to the detail in her paintings.
Her name is Rebecca Latham and here is her site:

She works with her family as well. Her paintings are extraordinary! I may just try to follow in her example - I didn't even know you could go to that level of detail in watercolour. I am very excited about how this will influence my own work.
