You can still join the class if you are interested (<a href="https://www.onlinecardclasses.com/simplywatercolor/table-of-contents/">Onlinecardclasses.com</a>).</p>
<p><strong>Day 2 &#8211; Simple critters and animals</strong></p>
<p>In today&#8217;s lessons, the objective was to create cute animals from simple geometric forms. I like my finished card but I still struggle to create light washed when coloring my critters.  I always end up going for bright and bold colors, even when I am trying to keep it light.</p>
<p>Here is the final product! I really like my cute bear, weird ears and all!</p>

<p>I worked really hard on this card because I want to give it to one of my best friends on her graduation day (tomorrow!!). I know she is going to love it even if is terrible, but I wanted to impress her with my watercolor skills.</p>
<p>I will let you know what she thinks about the card&#8230;</p>
