Jaguar in Watercolor

So this is one of the few pieces of art I've done in with watercolors and ink. It was both exciting an scary to paint this since I started with the ink and then put the watercolors on and not having much practice with watercolors, I didn't want to mess it up (especially the eyes my gosh). But it turned out quite well thankfully  
I began this in hopes to give myself a good example of the type of watercolor paintings I wish to do in the future. Not only did I succeed, but it gave me a good idea to use these paintings to raise money for my local animal sanctuaries. After deciding to follow my art career instead of becoming a zoologist, I really needed to find another way I can help animals and the environment. So why not through my art? Soon I'll begin making prints along with tote bags and shirts for these watercolor paintings to go on. I'm very excited to make more of these
