Here are the pencils and preparatory art for the watercolor I’m about to add to this artwork. It is a photograph and not a scan of the work. Didn’t have a scanner with me.
This is for a set of Christmas cards and prints available soon. The setting is Key Biscayne, Florida. That’s the Biscayne lighthouse in the background. The size is 11″ x 14″.
I’ll post the finished watercolor version soon.

May 23rd, 2013 – Painting Progress
by Rob Smith, Jr. on May.23, 2013, under Illusration, Swampy's Florida
I’ve been adding watercolor today to the illustration done a few days ago. After finishing doing the caricature thing at a conference at the Rosen Shingle Creek, I headed over to the Smooth Java coffee shop to paint and take in the great jazz coming from the ceiling speakers. Here’s how this looks after over an hour of applying watercolor. It’s one of two projects I worked on in the coffee shop. I’ll likely finish it during the Florida Parent Educators Association convention I’ll be signing books at over the next two days.
