Joshua Tree National Park (Verbena)

Description

Skill Level: Beginner-Intermediate

Two distinct desert ecosystems, the Mojave and the Colorado, come together in Joshua Tree National Park. A fascinating variety of plants and animals make their homes in a land sculpted by strong winds and occasional torrents of rain. Dark night skies, a rich cultural history, and surreal geologic features add to the wonder of this vast wilderness in southern California.* Lots of techniques embedded in this one, with the Verbena flower stealing a portion of this artwork. You’ll not want to delay getting this one started!
