"Lily Pond"
By Ronnie Cramer

I recently splurged and got a 24-pan set of Schmincke Horadam watercolors, which I used for this painting.
Initial Drawing
My friend Victoria has a beautiful lily pond outside her home
in North Carolina. This drawing of it was done with a 6B Mars
Lumograph pencil.
May Green
The dominant visual in the pond is the collection of lily pads,
so I started there - using May Green mixed with a dab of Cadmium
Yellow Light.
New Colors
Next I added various new colors from the palette - including
Indigo and Venetian Red, plus a thin layer of Prussian Blue
on the lily pads.
