I just had to try this cute eucalyptus leaf muncher! The biggest challenge for me were the many subtle colors in the soft toned gray fur.
I started with a painting knife then switched to a brush...this seems to inspire and remind me to apply the paint generously. An enjoyable painting for me. Hope y'all like it. :)
