The past few weeks I have been creating something a little different in my studio. I finished a commission piece for a friend and ever since then I have just had a real urge to break away from painting on a canvas and have been turning my attention to using a combination of watercolor, pen and ink and colored pencils. I love the richness that the colored pencils give some of the areas when I go over it using the watercolor as a base. The end result is a combination of looseness and yet rich details that neither the watercolor or the pencil has on its own.
I am also stuck on the look of outlining in pen all of the randomness of color and designs that are created by using watercolors for my backgrounds or on the fur. It creates an abstract effect that I like in the background. I have no idea if anyone else will actually like this technique, but I'm having a BLAST!
All these pieces will be hanging by Preview Thursday (October 1, 2015) at City of the World Gallery.
