Tree Line – Work in Progress
I’m still workoing on getting the hang of working in colored pencil. I like the wispy look that I get by using optical mixing and letting the paper show through.

Minor update to Tree Medallion #1
Just a minor update to better define the “halo” on it’s lower right hand side. #TraditionalArt #Watercolor #Drawing #ColoredPencil #MixedMedia
