At Bodie LightNeocolor II and colored pencil
approximately 7 x 10 inches on Arches HP

This is a view of a waterway through the marshes surrounding the Bodie Lighthouse on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Yet another in the experimental series I am currently obsessed with. There is much more dry colored pencil worked over the Neocolor II washes on this one than what I did with the previous piece. I am enjoying the process of allowing the work suggest what I do, as opposed to more closely following a reference. Colored pencil tends to be a very tightly controlled medium. Working this way feels like letting go of those constraints just a bit.

That's a long way from home! And it's beautiful. I really like the way you use the pencil over the wash.
I love your color.
Love the lavender touches. Very calming.
Lovely place, so different from where I live! As usual, love your beautiful colors! As someone said in the comments, it's veru soothing.
Vivid and Vibrant ^^ You've made the true beauty of nature pop right out the of the pages again Ann, and I could give you compliments again and again, but trust me, it's enough going to be enough, especially when you create masterpiece like this and shock the eyes that see it :)
Thanks everyone!
Again, beatiful colors! Glad you enjoyed the process! You've inspired me to get out the wc crayons and have some fun trying them out with the pencils. Thanks!
