From a Plein air sketch.  I loved the clean brilliant light and freshness of the scene.  I could feel the dew on the grass.

Water media and color pencil.

Colors have become richer.  Multiple layers of pencil, watercolor, tinted acrylic medium are repeated many times.  I like the effects of the pencils crosshatch.  My favorite technique.

Water media, color pencil.

As I continue my exploration of a new media combination,  the resulting color mixtures are so rich because of the multiple layers of pencil and warercolor.

Mixed water media.   12"x12"


I've discovered mixed media!  So many new possibilities to be experimented with.  I love the the contrast of opaque and transparency.  I used my Prismacolor pencils which have been lying dormant for years.  Layers upon layers make for such richness of color.   More to come!
