This sketch of leaves (and acorn) seen on the lane while walking my corgi began well enough with a watercolor wash. I removed the masking fluid and added a bit of colored pencil — still going well. I wish I had stopped there.
Instead, I added shadows with the nearest dark pencil, which happened to be a water-soluble Inktense pencil in Bark. I meant to leave it dry but somehow a drop of water hit one bit, so I wet all shadows. Which ruined the light, delicate look I was going for.
I like it with and without the shadow. Really nice. What book is that, plz?
ReplyDeleteThank you! The lower photo was taken as I was letting paint dry before removing the masking fluid, and before adding a bit of colored pencil, which really enhanced the look of the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThis is a Seawhite of Brighton watercolor journal.
Thanks!
