You have a very nice sketch Wade - DON'T MESS IT UP!!! For cryin' out loud! lol If you want to do a watercolor, do a watercolor. (Ask JC, he does watercolors I think.)

If anything, work some on the sketch. It's very nice, but might be worth spending more time on it to refine it. Especially with a geometric subject, it's more noticeable if lines aren't defined enough. I can see where it could benefit from working further on it, but DON'T PAINT over it and ruin it!! It's too nice a drawing to wreck it.

That’s it, I got the triple dog dare.

But it's not cold enough for a pole to freeze....ooohhhhh, wait, you were talking about the painting, weren't you?

It is cold enough in Antarctica for the south pole to freeze - guaranteed (I know someone who was there for a year).

Look good, Wade.

I have a small WC Pencil I just tarted. I'll post the progression tomorrow.

Here's what I'm working from.

Thanks Charlie! Excited to see this as a watercolor.

The only sketching were a general "bulb" for the cattail, and lines for the stem and grass blades. I want to put some more pencil down to add a little depth.

1. Laying down the pencil.

2. Water washing.

This turned out great! You kept the building details, and the foliage looks beautiful. Good job!

You always make it look easy. Lovely and light touch with the WC pencils!
