Monotype, Watercolor & Colored Pencil: Freshly Tilled Soil

Freshly Tilled Soil 4 x 6 Monotype Mixed Media
Sold
This Arizona landscape was pulled from a big 3-ring binder, filled with beautiful photos my friend Vicki Leigh snapped, packaged and mailed to me. All of her day to day adventures, garden discoveries, and encounters with light, landscape and people are captured in her camera with an artists' eye. Every year, I get random, surprise care packages in the mail, filled with photos organized by subject to use as painting and printmaking inspiration. How cool is that? Check out her stained glass blog (and her Etsy store) in my links.

Beautiful, Belinda... Do you use watercolor pencils or regular Prisma type colored pencils?

I was wondering that,too.Either way, you achieve some lovely visual feasts.

Hi D & D - Thanks for the compliments. In this one, I used Prismacolor. It's great fun!

Thanks for the info, Belinda... I've got a whole drawer full and never thought to use them on a monotype.

This one is really beautiful! I have been "re-studying" value and color theory, and your wonderful art keeps coming to mind.
Thanks for posting so regularly -- you are an inspiration!
