Tree in Snow

The snow from our last storm lasted for a bit, so I headed out to sketch what was left of it. This was done in a Strathmore Gray Toned sketchbook using watercolors, ink, watercolor pencils, and a white colored pencil.

  2. One of my favorites, Joan. That tinted paper, the bright snowy white, the blue shadows (cold!), and nature? It doesn't get any better!!
