Scavenger Hunt #301 WIP






 I did the graphite sketch, then put some color down first with watercolor paint.  I added some watercolor pencils and regular colored pencils, then went back in with watercolor, colored pencils (both regular and watercolor ones) until I had the result that I wanted.  It's about 11x14 inches in a Strathmore watercolor pad of paper.  I'm out of practice and this didn't turn out just the way I wanted.  But good practice.
