PUFFIN VINTAGE POSTCARD


Using a photo from Val Webb's online reference photos, I chose one I didn't have - a puffin.  On one of her postcards...I have one more left of the small postcards she sent and will probably put a crow on it!  We'll see.

All of the postcards are painted using gouache first and colored pencil on top of that layer.  A fun technique, but I still love my watercolor the best.
