My moms property is nestled on some foothills next to the redwood forest in Mendicino county. She has some of her "garden rooms" tucked under stands of redwoods, this is where this Buddah sits. Watching over this area of the garden surrounded by hydrangeas and anemones she sits on her ivy covered redwood stump.
How cool that is - wish I could get that freedom of watercolor you do. Really nice journal piece. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, I actually did this with a pencil the is called a sketch wash pencil. It goes on like a pencil but when you touch it with water it reacts like a watercolor pencil and becomes a wash. Much like charcoal.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the explanation - would love to do that technique in class one day. Will look into that pencil - maybe Aaron Bros. or Dick Blick have it. All your sketches are so, so wonderful.
