Orange Sunset- Quilled Landscape Picture Art

I always wanted to try blending colors in my quilled landscapes and I'm really happy with the result. I have used 3mm strips if 111/2 inches to make the quills.  For the water I used zig-zag quills.blending was done by using a dark and light shade strip to quill the loose coil. Use the same technique for mixing colors as with pencil colors. To lighten do not use white, rather use a lighter shade if the same color family.
