Hand-Colored Postcard Landscapes
Consider coloring a landscape which captures the look of these vintage postcards. My version of this “vintage postcard look” is on the cover of this volume.
Pages with views of the lake, including: ArtPLAYpages 4. Lake & Hotel View, 11. GMF Hotel, 16. Alice Boat, & 20. Lake Boats - would be all great for the “vintage postcard look.”
The vintage postcards below also provide coloring guidance for the pages which contain large background areas of the surroundings - the trees, plants, and rocky surface of the mountainsides, including: ArtPLAYpages 2. Whitlock Cabin, 15. Lakeview Terrace, , 19. Outlook Lodge , 21. GMF School, 27. Up valley walkers, 35. Fishing, 38. Bronc Day.
This view is from Red Butte, which used to be called “Red Devil.” Circa 1930s. Trees were sparse on the slopes then compared to the tree cover at this time.
This view is from the flanks of Mt. Dewey, facing southeast.
