Frosted Flakes

10.5x7 watermedia on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper, done today.  First I marked tree cone shaped lines with white and grey crayons, then filled in with various watercolors:  Raw umber, Coastal Fog, Mint Julep, Midnight Blue, UB, Manganese Blue and Daniel Smith's Undersea Green.  While still wet, I dropped more colors in, then splattered white gouache on all of it.  It's just a fun one of three trees in snow with their frosted flakes.
