Erik, Joe,Joy superb watercolor scene ! What is the technique used for the grass (if I may ask ...)? Do you paint then scratch?
Thanks for the info and the laugh.Erik, Joe,
I scraped in the grasses and for once, the paper had the correct amount of moisture. The paint has to be relatively "thick" and I had some luck with it this time. Generally, I find there are two types of scrape marks - too early and too late!
You're welcome. It was surprising (and flattering!) to be queried on technique. Hubby Jerry keeps reminding me I am to enjoy the process, rather than frustrate myself with the self-imposed struggle. He doesn't paint, however, he makes excellent suggestions on drawings and proportions.
Absolutely right. There are other concerns too, e.g. lightfastness. Markers are often used in pictures that will be reproduced and published, so the original is usually hold in the drawers after scanning.And I certainly don't want to become a "collector" of supplies.

You master so well the "legacy" watercolor technique, you can make wonders with just a pocket box!
How very gracious and uplifting! The ones I have binned recently outnumber the "better" efforts.I thought collecting supplies was an integral part of having art as a hobby?
Necessary to any serious endeavor!He's right... always listen to hubby Jerry
He certainly is spot on with that particular piece of advice. As a self-professed student of human nature, it has been my observation that we excel in giving others advice.
