Look Ma, No Tape!

Included in my paper stash was a small piece of Arches MBM Ingres 60 lb 75% cotton paper.  It seemed an ideal paper for my next experiment.

I wet the glass thoroughly and laid on the paper.  I didn't tape the paper because the water held it firmly in place.

First I wet the sky area and dropped in French Ultramarine.  I then moved into the foreground letting it bleed into the sky to create a middle ground.  After it was dry I added the trees.  I cheated on the highlights by using a white gel pen.

This paper was a lot of fun to work on.
