Farm Shed in Winter

8x8 watercolor on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper done last weekend using White Nights paints, another imaginary farm in winter landscape scene. Mostly I used raw sienna, burnt sienna, UB for a limited palette. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

Frozen Twisted Trees

5x8 mixed media on Canson 140 lb. cold press paper done today, an imaginary scene I could experiment on with different combinations. For this I did a pencil sketch first, then used white crayon over various tree parts, ground, and water. I used both black and white Brusho crystals next over a partially spritzed paper. I made a small amount of black Brusho mixed with water for a darker hue and used that to create more than one value. Diluted amounts of black and white Brusho made the sky and foreground.
