Poseidon in My Studio

This is my watercolor stuff. This is all I use (oops--forgot the kneadable eraser, though):



That's the next one I'm working on. A fountain of Poseidon. Here is a picture Elena took a while ago when she was planning to use it as a starting point if she would organize OVS jogging activities. It's quite a unique fountain.



It started out looking like this in the 6H pencil:



Then I colored it in. It isn't easy to capture the scene. It is very wet and there are many many jets of water dancing on and off and high and low. I did the bronze with a first coat of dark green followed by a second coat of brown. Poseidon was a bit dark, so I had to resort to my fountain pen to ink in the details in black ink.

Here is the final product:



So I have done 5 watercolors now. It's time to take a break and try to learn some more French. Tomorrow is another day. Elena will go for a bike ride and I will find something else to draw
