  This 8" x 10" watercolor painting was done because I like the elements of this countryside--mountains, trees, reeds and water. This is 99% watercolor and naturally I had to grab my pens to add some ink. It's almost a pure watercolor painting. The ti...

  Simple watercolor experiment shows a moon rising up over the evergreen trees. Trees are done very simply with thick brush pens while thin pen lines were used in the sky. I used Sap Green, Paynes Gray, Ultramarine Blue and a bit of Yellow and Raw Sie...
