Ultramarine Blue.  

This is for my demo tomorrow in my watercolor class at the 

YMCA Arts Center in Sunbury PA.  It is the beginning of a new 

six week session.  We start with one color - Ultramarine Blue.

I will cover flat wash, masking with painters' tape, glazing, lifting, and scraping.

We will use a 1" flat brush, a medium round brush, and a liner/rigger brush.

 I was watching 'Snow White and the Huntsman' and liked the way the forest looked when she bit the poisoned apple. I thought I might do a little wintry scene to post.  Here is the forest without Snow White or the evil Queen.  This is really just my impression.  The film was on TV and I don't have tivo. :)
