This is the first page in my new Moleskine. I had started a background several days ago and looked at it every time I picked it up to sketch a new face. I used Primacolor stix first and dripped tangerine India Ink over both pages. It stayed like that for almost a week. Last evening, I added some stamps, Caran d’ Ache crayons and ended with Portfolio Oil Pastels. After doing all that, I decided I didn’t like it and used a brush and some black India Ink to outline the shapes. I also used some tangerine and crimson India Inks to finish it. I used my old hair dryer to dry the inks, and the pastels and crayons started melting…oops, may have been a happy accident
Me again, from your and Lori’s writing it was clear to me that I forgot to write something in my last blogpost and sure I did – I didn’t write in English that that is my list of blogs to which I pass the Sunshine award. And yours is on the list as well
Hi Mary, thanks for commenting on my blog. I’m not a very good blogger as I can’t seem to stay consistent with anything, other than doing something creative everyday, I have no problems there! I love this background….ALL of your backgrounds and pages are just amazing! I really want to get some of those Caran d ache water soluable crayons! I mostly use what I have, stamps, acrylic paints, some distress inks and colored pencils. Your work is very inspirational! I LOVE IT!!!
I like it! The colors are beautiful, and I see so many different things when I look at these pages. Lots of layers and depth.
Beautiful colors! Beautiful layout….happy accident indeed!
What a blast of colors. Love it!
Gorgeous colors!!
Whew, that’s a lot of work to get to where you got, but I like it. It turned out very nicely. Love all the colors.
