I don't draw much, but I really wanted to mix the 2 paints together! I did this mostly with acrylic paints, but I used watercolor for the background as well as highlights in the hair and on the shirt a little. This is a Christmas present for a friend, she's a really crafty quilter and I wanted something to represent that to her, the best I could think of was by having the needle and thread. The buttons for eyes I thought would be a unique way to finish it off.
