Tom Wagen's Art

I am attempting a different approach with my next art project - I intend to do a watercolor on geso board of a picture I took while in Israel - it is a picture of the shore of the Sea of Galilee from a boat I was on while on the sea - I decided to do a draft (so to speak) in pastels - to get an idea on layout and color - this is my draft (or working copy) for the final work that I will start on geso board in the future
