Image size 3 1/2" x 5 1/2", Frame size 6" x 8"
Study for the watercolor of The Mushroom Dweller.
Transparent watercolor is not a forgiving medium,
and once a painting is in progress the artist can not
make changes. Before starting to paint, Laura thinks
every aspect of the subject through in pencil. Only
after all details of the composition are finalized and
light and dark patterns determined can a watercolor
be started. These pencil studies are used for reference
while the painting is in progress. This is the preliminary
study for the first painting in the flitten series. The drawing
is done on Arches hot press paper and framed under glass.

hot press paper and is
framed under glass.
