Tall Cactus with Peach Background

10x8 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper just completed , a pencil sketch based on earlier cactus paintings I've done. Marked backgound of random colors, shapes, and designs is the result of using paper to put underneath small and miniature ones to catch drips. White gel pen used for thorn marks after the peach background dried. Lots of fun playing with this today. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith
