| I added more dark and more light on the dragonfly with the pens. Values, values, values. |

| This is the second pass of rubber cement and watercolor. |

| This started with an under painting in watercolor. I have worked on the top section with colored pencil (scarlet lake, crimson, pomegranate, canary yellow, white, indigo) |

| This is the Plexiglas project. The front has Liquitex Clear Gesso (there is a small L in the corner). The back has Daniel Smith Transparent Watercolor Ground. To apply the grounds/gesso I lightly sanded the plexi on both sides. I wiped off the dust and used a brush to apply a thin layer of the ground/gesso. A foam roller could also be used. I let them dry for 72 hours (24 will work, 72 is better). To start, I traced the drawing with pencil (I placed the drawing under the plexi with the Liquitex side facing up and traced with a #2 pencil). I have used Sienna Brown and barely started shading the shadowed areas. I added some white in the highlight areas as well. |
