Sketching on Toned Paper II

I'm a bit behind in posting my pieces, but since I showed you one on toned paper yesterday, I figured I should show the one I did yesterday. I've been wanted to sketch the snow from this spot, but for days I kept contemplating the parking lot trying to decide if I could drive in and get back out. lol Yesterday it looked like it was solid enough to not have a problem. This was done from the San Souci parking lot in Sayville.

I used the Strathmore Toned Paper for this one again. I did most of it on site but finished it with the watercolor pencils at home because I ran out of time because I had a hair appointment.




I know many of you across the USA experiences snow and ice yesterday, and for some of you that was rare. I hope everyone is safe and that things are back to normal for you!

  2. As if painting and sketching on location isn't challenging enough Joan, you also add "daring" by the nature of your wintery conditions. Interesting how you can add the white to toned paper

  5. The warmth of the toned paper adds so much to this snowy scene. I feel I could walk peacefully down the path moving in and out of the shadows.

  8. Thanks everyone!!! I've enjoyed capturing the snow this way for a change. It is odd to add the lights at the end when watercolors work the other way. lol Our snow is melting a little but not much because of the cold conditions and the fact that there are such big piles of it everywhere!
