Tree Swing

Tree Swing

This was my first adventure into watercolor over graphite. I believe that this style of painting will be an interesting option for plein air (outdoors) painting and for general experimentation with wet-in-wet painting techniques.

I was really happy with the results even, as Sarah says, all that appears to be missing is a little boy with a stuffed tiger! I must admit; as I was working on the piece, I couldn’t help but think that it resembled a Bill Watterson cartoon of Calvin and Hobbs. I’m OK with that! 🙂
