Sertoma, CW, Sept./Oct. 2012

This is the background for the gouache piece.  I wet the paper, floated color, and sprinkled with salt.  It is not  quite as dark as I would like, so I did add a wash of indigo and a dark red and more salt before beginning.

This is the piece after the indigo, dark red, and salt plus the transferred drawing and the start of the gouache.

This is another example of the same technique.

This is the other example with a little more gouache.  It still needs quite a bit of work...

This is the mushroom with more dark values and details.  I would like to do more detail work before considering it complete.
