I think I walked the whole property before deciding on this location, even though this place called me from the start! Approaching it from two sides, of course the wetter, weedier location had the best view! Standing in the tall brush and wildflowers, I sketched out my lines with two fountain pens with different nibs and inks, following with a water brush pen to get those mid tones. The overcast sky grew darker as rain threatened, so I hurried back to the car to frame and turn in. This painting won an award in Mixed Media for the final judging, and has a new home along with the oil painting from the same place. Painting number 3047 in 3047 days.
