It was a lot of fun to just cut loose and not be so worried about the outcome. They are technically supposed to be flowers, but I felt myself naturally gravitating towards sea life... so I went with it. I do have to admit, however, that after I added the pen lines (as you can see in the background of the first image), I thought that the thick, dark lines took away from the color of the watercolors. So I ended up painting thin gesso over the background lines, which muted them without fully taking them away. I much preferred this effect. What do you think?
Yes, I like the gesso effect, it makes the colours really pop.
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe sea flowers pop right out with the muted background. So glad you stopped by. Missing you. I don't have a thought in my head to blog about.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I like the finishes version best too!
