I have finished this watercolor last night of a pen & ink illustration. The illustration is for a writing project that is in progress. Manager/spouse does not like when I post images that are for publication. Nor am I to speak of the writing projects either.
I never fall into the vices of the mumbo-jumbo logic and this so-called common sense that Manager/spouse continues to throw at me. I am way above that, like in the clouds. But, I'm not here to talk about Manager/spouse or murder or even how I just now ate a whole can of Creme de Pirouline chocolate hazelnut wafers that was hid from me. I am here to talk about my art.
here it is
Your manager/spouse is very wise, but I'm glad the wafers went to your head and gave you the courage to post without permission. Your new watercolor is spectacular! Very intriguing scene. I cannot wait to one day read the writing that belongs to it!
ReplyDeleteMethinks you should perhaps not have shown M/S where to find this blog. Business is business, but cookies are something else again.
ReplyDeleteI love the details on the bag! Do you use any gouache or white ink, or do you get all your highlights by leaving the paper well enough alone?
Cara-
ReplyDeleteNO on the gouache...although I intend to pick up some today. I've been wanting to work with gouache and watercolors. Usually I'll add some acrylics to a piece.
For highlights I do leave areas of paper untouched. Then make them pop with adding some translucent white watercolor. (Or acrylics, but there are no acrylics on this piece)
ON this piece I did the entire piece in the background wash. This way the tone would be in the areas left alone.

It is at times like this that I usually cast a spell to be adopted or apprenticed to the maker of such a superb creation -- and to have cans of Creme de Pirouline chocolate hazelnut wafers fall out of the sky and into my pantry by the dozens -- but alas, I am not up to par and so must simply gaze in amazement with a wee bit jealousy. Make that a big gob of jealousy...and not even a teeny morsel of cookie to be found in my pantry. Tis truly a new low for me. Mwah!
ReplyDeleteWOW,you stole manager/spouse's pants. such braverism.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, k! I'm glad you didn't listen to manager/spouse and shared it with us. Don't tell her I said that. =)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you can't resist sharing or chocolate wafers. it means we have some more in common including ingnoring spouse occasionally :-) Great illustration :-)
