This is for the WCMDSC08 sketch challenge. I fall a little more in love with Riley every time I use a new image. He has to be my all time favorite animal image.
Thanks for a great challenge, AJ.
I stamped Riley Santa on watercolor paper with Brilliance Black and watercolored with Riding Hood Red, Going Gray, Adirondack Latte and a combination of Latte and Ridinghood for the bricks. I painted on white craft ink for the falling snow, chimney snow and icicles and ground snow and embossed with white ep. I masked the image and sponged on Brocade Blue for the night sky and wiped all the embossed white off. I used Liquid Applique to create the fur on the Santa hat and the beard.
