Geese Gossip

6.25x9 watercolor on #CansonPaper 140 lb cold press done today as part of a timed weekend drawing event on WetCanvas.com Photo ref courtesy of host Tanja. For the background I first stamped paint on a grasscloth piece and stamped its pattern. When dry I put color glazes in green, brown, and blue tones over that. With simple subjects a patterned background is a must. My total time was about an hour out of the allotted 2 hour limit. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith
