I never thought I could paint until I took a free watercolor class at my local library. (Unfortunately our teacher moved. Fortunately, he started live streaming the classes he offers in his new city. YouTube @frankoarts)

So I joined the class to support a friend and was shocked that could create anything. This panda is the work I'm most proud of and it surprised me. Yes, it's a little more "teddy bear" than the reference photo, which was a real panda. The assignment was to be loose with our work, but I struggle with that. Anyway, I haven't shared anything I've done on this sub so here is something. I'd love to see a work that you did that surprised you too :)

Thanks ????
