Day two hundred and fifty-seven: An extraordinarily long day left me with little time (or brain power) to sketch a composition, but I wanted to continue exploring watercolor. Playing with the layers of color necessary to emulate pine trees seemed like a good thing to practice. These firs were created by dabbing deep, dark greens over pale yellow-greens using various brushes. What’s most fun is watching the colored water diffuse and meld together. On a whim, I tried a close up of a blue spruce branch, but this could use some work to appear realistic.
