Pocket Park Lamps

12x9 watercolor, Brusho, and white crayon on 140 lb cold press Grumbacher paper painted last Wednesday. Using my recent photo of a rainy day at the pocket park downtown Big Spring I adapted the setting to a snowy day. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Streetlamps in Snow

7x5 watercolor Brusho and white wax crayon as a resist in this imaginary downtown scene of lamps during winter. After a pencil sketch and white areas with crayon, I used fine mist sprayer to add water to dry paper then sprinkled grey Brusho crystals. With a brush I carefully went over the various parts of the composition. When dry a script liner brush mixed with sepia and indigo added dark areas of the lamp post and iron fence. Snowy street parts were a mix of Prussian blue watercolor and palette mud to vary the values. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith
