 Mount Rainer from Tipsoo Lake

By: Russell Taylor
Fall 2006?
Colored Pencil
Taken from Photograph “Tipsoo Lake, with Mount Rainier beyond” in Mount Rainier National Park Impressions, Photography by Charles Gurche, FarCountry Press, 2003.


I free handed this drawing while looking at a photo from a book I purchased when my family and I took a day trip to Mt. Rainier at Paradise. We took this trip in the summer of 2006 while my brother was learning to drive. He had his learner's permit and drove us most of the way to Mt. Rainier. The colored pencil drawings are done in Prisma colors which are a really high-quality colored pencil. You can blend the colors easily.
