Here is my final illustration for the sound assignment. I chose to do the 13 x 19 in illustration in gouache medium. I tried to get the idea of the motion of the lawn-mower running over the twig by using some motion curvesn around the shape of the lawn mower. I think the curves may have been more successsful if I did more of them or made them more obvious. One element that I think was successful was the grass. I like that there is a clear area where the grass has been cut, for which I just used a tint of the darker green, and blotted with a dry brush. The taller grass took me a while to figure out, but with some technique suggestions from Rusty, I think it turned out nicely. I first laid down areas of color, after it dried I went back in with a damp fan brush and used paper towel to pick out some color, I then went back in and added detail to the blades of grass.
