Watercolor Workshop Day 2
Afternoon Critique in Cushing, Maine
by the Sea at a Private Estate

With a Pencil

This artist draws,
form in space on
paper. Paint soars,
brushing, white gone.

Then this artist
draws again, pause,
thought, paper is kissed
by brush, applause

of color, as
pencil lines are
lost, pencil has
left its mark, "ah".

need much of a subject to paint."
