Prickly Pops

7x5 watercolor, Brusho, and gouache on 140 lb cold press Canson paper recently done and shared with my Monday class. After sketching the prickly pear cactus water was spritzed onto the dry paper using a large droplet sprayer. Immediately olive green Brusho crystals was shaken over that. When dry I used two gouache colors to make the peachy/salmon background, painting around some Brusho marks for extra pattern. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith
