I Painted 12 Animals Of Chinese Zodiac In Watercolor To Show Their Unique Personalities

ADVERTISEMENT

My latest watercolor series depict 12 animals of the Chinese Lunar calendar. In Chinese astrology, these animal signs are assigned by year, and represent what others perceive you as being or how you present yourself to the world.

I used vibrant colours and floral motifs to represent the beauty of each unique character.

Take a look at my previous posts about my sketchbook and watercolour alphabet.

    Your painting skills are fantastic! I love the idea that you added flowers to your masterpieces. I truly hope they catch on.

    Wow! So nice! It's also the first time I find a paining, where the snake (my zodiac) isn't either scary or looking like an over-sized earth worm.

    Wonderful! Beautiful colors, contrast, and detail. Gentle yet powerful to the eye.

    These are beautiful. I would have liked to see these framed museum style. They are plenty elegant.
