Pastel, Ink, and Watercolor
on Wallis Pro - 5.5x8.5
Palm trees and the salt marsh have become a favority theme for me. These two paintings of palm trees on the salt marsh were done by doing a sketch in Chinese ink, shading and coloring it with watercolor, and then adding the values, color, and detail with pastels.
This project started with sketches on my white board.
Both painting have been sold.
Then I added the Chinese ink in broad outlines of the subject.
Next I added the color tones and suggestions with watercolor.
Finally, this is what the whole process looked like.
