When Sky Meets Water - Disney Family Museum Open Studio
This painting of the sky and a little ducky on the horizon is created as a tribute to Tyrus Wong exhibition Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong at Walt Disney Family Museum.
WDFM invited me and other artists from CWA to teach how to do a "wash" in watercolors.

Here is the recent homework made in charcoal on the newsprint paper:
