Pinecone


I found this pinecone when Louie and I went hiking in the Sangre de Cristo mountains last weekend. I tried pastel on hot press watercolor paper just to see what would happen. I enjoyed the texture but it quickly became impossible to layer the colors, each new mark pushed the previous one off like a snow plough. I like the way the shadow turned out though.
