The Mushroom Dweller (SOLD)
original pencil drawing, framed $475.00
Image size 3 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Frame size 6" x 8"
 
Study for the watercolor of The Mushroom Dweller. Transparent
watercolor is not a forgiving medium, and once a painting is in
progress the artist can not make changes. Before starting to
paint, Laura thinks every aspect of the subject through in pencil.  
Only after all details of the composition are finalized and light and
dark patterns determined can a watercolor be started. These pencil studies are used for reference while the painting is in progress. This is the preliminary study for the first painting in the flitten series. The drawing is done on Arches hot press paper and framed under glass.
