"Waiting for First Snow"
9" x 12" image size
original watercolor on archival cold pressed paper
framed and matted
I began this painting as a demo at one of the Art Crawls in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, and continued to develop and refine it later, at home. Everything seemed to fall together, as it sometimes does, and I had it matted and framed.
This will be on my new watercolor CD, since I took demo shots of it...

MINI-DEMO:
detail from upper right on the painting above
When I want to make an area lacier and open up some light, as in these distant trees, I use a sharp blade or X-acto knife to scrape back to the white paper. I scraped the trunks and branches into the damp wash--bruising the paper makes darker lines.
