Dragonfly Day

9x6 watercolor and Brusho wc crystals on Fabriano 140 lb cold press paper just completed a few days ago from one of my backyard dragonfly photos.  Wings are more colorful than real life due to the Brusho.  Splattering with a large round brush was added when dry.  This flying insect is the challenge subject for today on All Animals Watercolor Facebook page.

Brusho Poinsettias

12x9 Brusho watercolor crystals on Bristol board 300 series/100 lb. completed today.  I am still learning how to use the crystals and this time after doing a colored pencil sketch in red and green and sprinkling them, I put several hues into a flat palette and added water.  This made a stronger solid color.  Look closely and you can see some of the crystals spots.  I used 4 or 5 different reds plus Vermilion; it is SOLD.
