Thawing Snow

5x6 5/8 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done today, a made up scene of snow thawing and long tree shadows.  Using mostly browns and blues with thalo green cool colors this winter landscape should chill us all.

Frozen Shoreline

8.5x11 watercolor and ink on Crescent sketchbook done today. I used Pigma Micron 01 pen and Daniel Smith paints, sketching it first then applying color.  Reference photo posted in this weekend's drawing event on WetCanvas by Richard Jules of Canada and is at Bluffers Park, Scarborough.  Look closely to see layers of icicles along the rocks.  Participants in the challenge have 2 hours to choose and then do their painting.  This one took me one hour.
