July Prickly Pears

7x5 mixed media on Strathmore Bristol 100 lb 300 series paper sketched yesterday. Patterned after the previous day's art, these prickly pears were first sprinkled with water then Brusho wc crystals in Sandstone applied. After drying, a mix of turquoise, white, and green Turner's Design gouache was laid in over the background. An orange three colored lead Magic pencil separated the pear leaves pods from each other.
