I gave my life to Christ on October 8, 2017. To celebrate the 2 year anniversary, I decided to create an drawing of my spot.
It began as a pencil sketch of the location where I was saved. I then used black ink to deepen the darks and tree branches. The picture looked drab and depressing, not the vibrant and colorful autumn image that I always seen in my head when I think back on that day.
I decided to experiment and added watercolors to the trees, and sky, the beach area.
Sadly, my experiment with the mixed media went awry. Watercolor on regular sketch paper makes the paper pill and peel, so the lake water itself was not able to be completed without completely destroying the paper. While I feel like the piece itself is incomplete (the lake looks more like a snowy field to me), I did learn a lot about how the watercolor pencils I have acted with each other and I was really pleased with the resulting fall colors in the trees.
I have since purchased a pad of watercolor paper for future watercolor experiments, and I may make another effort at this same image someday.
