7.5x5.5 watercolor and white wax crayon on 140 lb Arches paper done today using no reference and no pencil (brush only). I first applied white crayon at random on dry paper then did a light wash of raw umber and Prussian blue over most areas. While still wet I used a wadded up facial tissue to blot at the top and over small area of the water. As it dried too light I added more washes using carbazole violet and sepia; when dry I used the same colors to do negative painting for tree trunks, limbs, and branches.
