3. More Pigment: I applied water to the two<br />
figures in the center and have now begun to add<br />
in the colors for the flowers. With watercolor<br />
pencils, it really doesn’t matter if you do your<br />
background or foreground first.<br />
5. Water applied! The rest of the pigment has<br />
been filled in and the watercolor pencil has been<br />
applied. Notice the difference in color from the<br />
earlier images to this one.<br />

4. And Yet More Pigment: I’ve filled in the<br />
details on the flowers and added the paint. Now<br />
I’ve begun to fill out the trees, grass and tree<br />
trunk.<br />
6. Adding Finishing Details: Watercolor pencils<br />
are wonderful on their own, but I decided to go<br />
back in and add some white acrylic for highlights<br />
and also some ink on the edges to make them<br />
more defined. The final result is on page 21.<br />
I hope you’ve enjoyed this issue’s Artistic Journeys column. Watercolor pencils have much to offer<br />
the mail artist, so have fun and experiment!
