When I made the first rough sketch of this lake scene (below) the weather was warm and lovely. I had only brought a waterproof black pen and my nature journal on the hike.
I wanted to include more color and details, so I took a photo with my phone and planned to finish the page later.
This latest cold snap, had me thinking of that sunny warm day and how I wanted to finish my sketch.
Cozily tucked in my studio listening to music, I added color to the scene using
Caran D'Ache Neocolor II watercolor crayons.
Just looking at the blue sky and puffy white clouds in the photo felt uplifting on a gray day with wind-driven snow flying through the air. Adding color with the crayons worked its usual magic, and I dropped into that relaxed, timeless state of art-making.
I invite you to make artwork using this photo as a reference. Find the most interesting part of the scene to you, and let that be your focal point. I hope you'll use your favorite media to create your version of this scene.
Happy Creating!
