Need to take a drive

Been a while since my last post, especially a post with a painting. With the season beginning to change, the corn fields golden, soybean fields red, and that cool breeze I am determined to take a nice drive out through the country this week for inspiration. Fall is upon us :)

Sunset study with watercolor pencils #2

Another Sunset watercolor pencil study. I will update this as well once I put brush and water to it.

Sunset study with watercolor pencils

I decided to pull out my watercolor pencils again...been a while. The image you see hasn't been touched over with water and brush yet. I figured it might be nice to see the before and after. Next I will re-post the drawing after going over it with brush and water. Just a little study to see how the colors will react with each other...wondering if it might get muddy....we will see!
