SOLD
I experimented with watercolor and ink. I sketched out the image of the peacock and proceeded to watercolor the particular areas that I wanted to cover. Then I went over the entire subject with ink, pulling out the areas I wanted in greater detail.
This is a watercolor composition that I did of my backyard in St. Louis. I wanted to capture the subtlety of the light playing across the leaves and the shadows that appeared with the shifting sun. I started with a very light, watery wash of the base colors. I continued with this technique until I had built the colors up to the level that I wanted. I left the background a muted grey to pop the foreground colors.
