Juneteenth

Today is Juneteenth 2020. Juneteenth is a holiday that celebrates the liberation of slaves in the United States. I am hopeful that Juneteenth (June 19) will become a National Holiday in the United States.

Step by step process:

First, I measured and drew my sketch with pencil on FREDRIX Watercolor Canvas Board.

After drawing the letters with NIKOPIKO Line-3, a permanent ink pen, I erased the pencil.

Using Daniel Smith Ultramarine Blue, I painted the letters, then let the painting dry.

Painting and drawing daisies –

Painted border.

Added background and let dry.

Finished!

Color: Daniel Smith Hansa Yellow, Cascade Green, Forest Green, Ultramarine Blue. Windsor and Newton Pale Rose Watercolor Marker, and Ecoline Reddish Brown Brush Pen.
