Painting good fur texture with watercolor takes far too much advance planning for my lackadaisical self, so I was delighted to discover that I could just glaze white casein over a base coat and get a good strand effect. This guy is wearing an approximation of the Hopi dance costume of the Honan, or Badger Kachina, (sans mask, of course.) I love kachinas.
