This week we painted waterfalls! I used a photograph I'd taken of the lower Multnomah Falls. I used the plastic wrap technique to get some texture, but ended up smoothing a lot of it out.
Painted on an eighth size sheet of Strathmore Imperial with Silver Black Velvet Brushes, 1 inch flat, and size 6 round. Colors used were M. Graham Ultramarine Blue & Quinacridone Violet, and Qor Green Gold. My first time using this paper, which is one of Strathmore's other professional grade watercolor papers, and the first time I tried using this particular mix of colors. I don't quite like the mix, but I think it's close to a triad I would like, so I'll have to play around to find a better blend of colors.

Multnomah Falls is one of my favorite places. You did a great job of capturing the beauty of it.
