Join me on Patreon: patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Hares have historically symbolised renewal, rebirth, and resurrection, so as we say goodbye to 2025 and embark on the journey that 2026 has in store for us, I thought it was time to paint another hare. I used to paint them quite regularly, and you'll find quite a few on the channel, but it's been a while. There's a sketch available for this one, and he joins four other hare sketches already on our website.

➡️ *About my brushes*
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
