cougar work in progress, 5″ x 7″, sepia watercolor on board, ©Rebecca Latham I’ve had quite a few deadlines creeping up on me lately.. some survived, others didn’t. I like to have extra space to set a piece aside and study it, see what tweaks it may need.. but I […] Read more »
A little bit larger than I often work… this piece is about 11in x 14in (sepia watercolor on board at this point, work in progress). This is a rather involved painting with all of the detail in the animals themselves as well as an ocean of grass surrounding them. ..so […] Read more »
Raven in progress, watercolor on board, 12in x 9in, ©Rebecca Latham I have always found ravens fascinating. However, until this piece I had never painted one.

This is another new piece I have sitting in my studio right now. You may notice the dark strokes look a bit different on this piece than some of the other sketches I have on the blog. That is because for this piece I did some "redrawing" in paint – […] Read more »
This is my iniatal sketch I used for the white tiger painting I’m working on at the moment. It is a rendering of one of the White Tigers we studied in Cincinatti during the NFL’s filming of them for television commercials. The painting is now in it’s color phase of […] Read more »
I just started a new miniature piece this afternoon — one of the pieces I will be sending to Miller Galleries for their miniatures show. The painting is about 3×4 (inches). I didn’t snap a photo of the sketch earlier, so I’ll be posting a color phase image of it […] Read more »
