Reply to 1880 Death Valley 20 Mule Team Borax Hauler on 1940 Farm Ledger Paper, Me, Acrylic, 2023 by MindSprung

This painting is based on a photograph I took in Death Valley at the defunct Borax mine and museum. These haulers were only used for a few years till a train was built which was much faster. The ledger paper was given to me by a manager where I worked a few years ago in Wichita KS. It is from the farm where he grew up.

Getting watercolor to look this... intentional, just evades me. I can get the desired textures and definition with pretty much every other paint. But I can never seem to get watercolor to come out how I am picturing it.

This is fantastic by the way.
