My husband and I adopted our first hairy baby a few weeks ago from the Seattle Humane Society, and we are in love. Our dog, Newton, is a Basenji/Terrier mix and is such a sweetheart. He loves snuggling and meeting new people and dogs. He’s the best.

I had Friday off and thought it’d be a good time to practice some watercolor techniques I’m reading about in “Urban Watercolor Sketching“. Since Newton likes to nap a lot, he’s the perfect model.
