Okefenokee Sunset
My sketchbook went on a boat tour of the Okefenokee Swamp. We saw lots of alligators, blue herons, cypresses and Spanish moss, but didn't pause long enough for me to think of trying to draw them. The guide did stop the boat on a wet "prairie" for a good long time so we could watch a beautiful sunset. Then we cruised back under a darkening sky, the water as reflective as liquid mercury.
Drawn and colored with pencils on location. Brushed with water later to make the water-soluble color more intense for scanning.
