My buddy Sam moved to Oregon (the state) and we agreed to exchange postcards once she settled on an address. She asked for a watercolor of wildlife, which brought me to a state of "oh heck, what will I do?" I used a picture I had recently taken of frog sticking up out of duckweed as my reference, and got to work.
I wasn't sure the best technique for plants both floating on and submerged in water, but putting the water down first felt right. Then build up the frog, then the duckweed.
Wow does the duckweed not look at all like duckweed. Ah well.
It's a little lopsided and impressionistic, but it turned out pretty well.
Not like this though.
