How to frighten a Clown.
This painting was done with Winsor Newton watercolor paints on warm pressed paper. 24 X 36.  The idea came to me when thinking how awful clowns are and wondering if clowns were scared by anything.  I figured something small and funny would do the trick, a sock puppet was perfect.

I tried to do a few things differently with this painting.  I outline everything I do in a black marker or acrylic ink pen.  This painting I did not,  I wanted the paint to be the outline.  It was difficult not to do it, but at the end of the project I'm glad I tried it.  I also wanted to see if I could layer the water color and create different shades with out ruining the paper.  I think the paint I used did what I wanted it to do.  I would highly recommend Winsor paints to anyone.
