I did this little mini painting on watercolor paper using three stamps from the Jungle release at High Hopes. I used the lion and two of the leafy trios. Ok, if you don't know which ones are stamps, that would be understandable! Basically, the leafy stuff closest to the ground on either side of him are stamps! The rest I filled in by drawing them with black ink pen. I used Tombow's to color and water to spread the ink around. I am a bit disappointed with the colors on here, they look faded, and are much more vibrant in real life. Ah well. This painting is a gift for a special lady I know. I did it just for her. And she doesn't know it yet, but soon it's going to come to her in the mail as a surprise!
