This is great! So glad you posted this work on Suede mat board--I am getting ready to use suede mat board for a tiger I have drawn 11x 14, in graphite, I thought I would use a grey-grey suede, its a Christmas gift for my son---The pencil work came out OK, but I am still thinking about using the suede---maybe I will do it in watercolor , too--just to learn as much as I can, Its my drawing after all! I will post it on my blog soon. Your work is very inspiring and beautiful.
Hi Ida and thanks so much for your compliments! I think you will love the suede and the choice of colors one has to choose. It works relatively quickly for me now but took a bit of experiment when I first started using it. Now, I always try to use a suitable colored background that I can use to my advantage. Looking forward to seeing your tiger!
