This image is the very beginning of my Caribou Ranch plate, conceived while I was an Artist in Residence there in July. This time I’ve started with watercolor pencils, which is new for me. But it does help to get the core colors down quickly, and I do kinda like using the small brush. Taking baby steps into watercolor! Anyway, this is due to Boulder County January 1 so I really need to get going. Just finished and shipped my Botanical Art Worldwide submission, so the docket is clear for now. Many, many hours to go . . . and yes, I know the composition needs some work!
