February 26


1st round.  Shapes, with watercolor pencils.  




Added shading and reflections...  Still need to play with it a bit.  
(The white splotches are from the flash reflecting on the water.)



And this is what it looks like after it dries.

I definitely need to play with layering the colors and blending a little bit better, but I think I am liking playing with the watercolor pencils.

Note that this was smooth paper in my sketchbook.  At other times, I'll draw on gessoed paper, and you can see the tooth.  For example, the fish from February 24 is gessoed.  You can definitely see the pigment from the pencils getting caught in between the teeth on the paper.
