16 Views of the Lake by Kevin Nakagawa, CA 2006

4.25" x 5.5". Scenes executed with dye based inks applied with Tonal Applicator 084E and Colorbox Stylus Tools.

The Lakeside Cove 049G has been one of my favorites for many years. These are some scenes that were done at a make and take at a convention this year. Quite a few different looks for this one image. Some utilize the vehicle of reflections to reinforce the idea of a mirrored surface, some feature streaks of color in the sky while some use stamped sky imagery. Some were created by stamping the imagery and then coloring them while others were done by coloring the background first and then stamping the images on top of the backgrounds. With this image, it really doesn't matter if you stamp it first or last. The bottom scene uses Sedge Filler to fill in the area that would normally be water. This creates a land/meadow scene out of 049G. To do this, don't color the reflections in the design and then stamp the grassy texture of Sedge Filler 251C.
