Description
Palm Trees on a Beach at Sunset, watercolor by Conni Schaftenaar
This was an exercise in my watercolor painting class several years ago to learn methods of scraping interesting colors into palm leaves. First, I did a wet-into-wet background of sky with a sunset effect, over a beach. Then, after that was dry, I added the trees and used various tools to add the fronds to the palms, like adding color and using the edge of a credit card to scrape a little color back out while it was still wet, and using the card to draw color away from the stem of the frond. It was interesting, and resurrecting this painting to enter into a contest makes me think I might need to do a new painting of palms using that method!
