Update progress on the watercolor ‘Double trouble’ Calves & Cowboy by Debbie Flood

Here is today’s work on the Double trouble watercolor.

Today, I realized just how much sage brush is in this painting! Ha ha. It stretches all the way to the top of the painting. But, I think I will improvise just a little, and put those pretty New Mexico Mountains back there.

There are effects in that sage, that I can’t really get with a brush alone. So I have implemented a couple Watercolor pencils to give a dotted-sparkle effect in the bushes. Once I rough that in, I go over it some with a wet brush, to soften a few edges. So far, it has given a really nice effect.

Today I was featured on another artists blog. Mary Hone calls it Artsy Fartsy Tuesday. It’s a really cute little blog, and fun! And of course she is a very talented artist herself! Desert Raven Art.

Thanks for stopping by and looking.

Please share with your family and friends if you would like.
