Happy ABC continued

These keep coming, in random order – although it's the random order that makes me have to think about it a little more. I have to think in terms of what color the actual surrounding letters will be, not what they are on the page of four that I'm currently painting. So there's a lot of yellow letters today, but if I plan it right, they'll all be fairly spaced by color when I put the whole alphabet together.

I was planning on using acrylic again, since I had so much fun with it the last time. But while I was still in the watercolor phase, I figured I'd try my hand at the rock wall and I'd finish it up with acrylics later. I mixed the colors on the paper instead of the palette, and used a dry brush with white watercolor paint for the texture. I ended up liking it as is, which is good news for getting this done quickly (this is still only painting number 12).
