Study of Winter Cactus by Carolyn Jean Thompson

7 x 7
colored pencil

Cactus plants are both smooth and textured.  To portray this, I used watercolor wash and watercolor pencils for the underpainting.  The final layer is wax-based colored pencils.  To see more of my artwork and a pastel painting of the same subject, visit my blog here.
