"Little Blue" Evolution Part 4

I've been asked to share some more photos of my project. Looking through my growing catalog of project photos I found several more sketches of 'cattails'.



In trying to design my painting I wondered if a different view point would work.



Here you can see what a 'marshmallow' cattail might look like. After this sketch I figured I better stay with the boring side view and forget about a more interesting point of view for now.



I have finally begun to color in the damselfly and finish the head of the cattails.



I had fun playing with the textures on the head of the cattails. I tried very hard to get a fuzzy look and feeling. Burnt Sienna and Quinacridone Gold helped me out with the highlights.
