Finally finishing up this watercolor that has been on and off my drawing board for almost a year now. I think I definitely need to paint more pebbles! I've had one cheap student-grade watercolor brush for years that still points way better than my top of the line W&N brushes, but I think I nearly wore it out on all these little details...
Sparky, 2012, watercolor, 20 x 15 in.
To create the source image, I actually did immerse a string of outdoor holiday lights in a fish bowl on a window shelf and then plugged them into a GFCI outlet in the kitchen. Surprisingly, they worked just fine underwater!
