Marsh Palms II, Study

Completed work - Pastel over watercolor and ink on paper

This study was conceived to capture the contrast between the flat marsh and the soaring palms and pines.  I set these against the rising clouds of an early morning.

Watercolor underpainting over ink drawing.  I used the watercolor to set the basic values and contrasting colors for the painting.
