Did you know that tumbleweed comes from the Asian Kochia and Russian Thistle, and that both became common in the U.S. well after the Wild West was settled? So those images of tumbleweed tumbling by during a shoot-out or setting off a cattle stampede are pretty much a myth! * Ampersand Aquabord * Supervision Watercolor * Photo by shanghaistoneman at Pixabay @supervisionart @ampersand_art Kochia Bush-Supervision watercolor on Ampersand Aquabord

Part of my process is to start with a quick pencil drawing to establish what is going to happen on each page. I want to establish who\'ll be there, where they\'ll be, what is happening and where I\'ll leave room for the text. Since much of this often changes, I don\'t worry about how it looks. It\'s just to get the fire burning. 1A20220811_10255563_0958

He had been calling them Eppsicles, but his children called them “Pop’s ‘sicles,” and that\'s the name that stuck . This looks a bit like a print, but it was an experiment to see if I could get away with using masking fluid and salt. As it turns out, I did. I\'ll want to try this some more using different papers but both the salt and the masking fluid came off just fine. * Hahnemühle Rough Collection Watercolor paper * Van Gogh Watercolor * Image inspiration - photo by m_krohn on Pixabay @Hahnemühle_USA @ #royaltalensNA #LifeImitatesDoodles #Doodlewash #WorldWatercolorGroup Popsicles - Van Gogh watercolors on Hahnemühle Rough Collection watercolor paper
