Mt. Shuksan Reflected

By: Russell Taylor
October 2013
Colored Pencil
Taken from Photograph “Mt. Shusksan from Picture Lake, Mt. Baker National Forest,” by John Hendrickson, in Pacific NorthWest Calendar, Avalanche Publishing, 2012.

I free handed this drawing from a calendar my Mom purchased. Mt. Shuksan is in North Cascades National Park. Drawing the reflection was challenging, but it turned out great. Drawing realistic water is also difficult. I blended two colors of blue in addition to the colors of the reflection and brown near the shore. True blue and indigo blue.
