Here's a little scene from the new cling mount set "Beware of Bears" from Whipper Snapper. The clouds are from the new set "Hooked on Fishing," also from Whipper Snapper.
I had fun playing with my Copic markers! The grass gave me trouble since I didn't have a good grass color. I colored it first with a yellow-green, then sponged on a darker green Copic with a paper towel. It was still too yellow, so I colored and shaded with a Prismacolor pencil. THAT was still too bright and distracted from the main scene, so I colored with yet another Prisma pencil!
I colored the sky a little blotchy on purpose. This set has a "Beware of Bears" sentiment, which I planned to stamp on the sign, but it was too large so I had to hand write it.
The goldfish on the hook was our 8-year-old son's idea. Isn't he cute?
