How did she come up with that?

murals on my mind

Driving back from Tahoe this summer, I decided to do murals in the same general style as my mixed media watercolors.  That means I'd be incorporating three different images into one work.  A few weeks later I went to see the Sequoias with a friend, and am now obsessed with doing a mural-sized triptych.  I'm starting with 6 x 9 watercolors - here's the first one.

Texture:  The white lines in the painting are roughly inspired by the bark in this photo.

Color:  I used the light hitting this tree for my color inspiration.

Form:  I overlayed a to-scale Sequoia out of cut mulberry paper on top.  This is the most tedious but most satisfying part!  I can't wait to work large.
