A Pink Hibiscus

12x9 mixed media on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done yesterday for August Watermedia challenge on WetCanvas.  Ref courtesy of Deborah.  The backside has abstract acrylic and alcohol ink marks hence the colored areas seen on the front that watercolor can't cover up.  White gouache, watercolor, and Caran D'Ache watersoluble colored pencils used over the Magic colored pencils sketch.  I held two Magic (multi-lead) pencils together while sketching for a looser look.

Workshop on Florals

This is Linda LeTard of Atlanta, GA who flew in last week back to her home state Texas to take my floral watercolor workshop yesterday.  She is an awesome painter and interior designer, and it was a pleasure to work with her and the other artists.  Lucky for us I have a dark pink hibiscus blooming its head off at the studio so we used that as our model; individual blooms were so nice to use.
