Aspen Winter

9x7 watercolor winter imaginary scene begun yesterday using Gansai Tambi graphite paints (Kuretake). This is in Master's Touch 80 lb paper sketchbook that is fun to paint on. Not used the graphite colors in awhile and interesting to see the pale green which they call yellow applied to the background. Negative painting of trees is in far background and I could keep going with them. Aspens are tall and stately holding their trunks and limbs high in this snowy landscape. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

White Tree Trunks in Snow

6x8 graphite watercolor blue shade with white oil pastel on Hahnemuhle grey toned 95 lb. paper done last weekend while it snowed. Using a scene previously done, this was quickly sketched and painted for a different take on the same mountain slope. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith
