I have a small set of pastel pencils that I may use as my next layer. Right now the values are too much the same - the sand is darker than I want, the water needs more variation in color, and the dreaded shadows need to be decided upon. I haven't decided where the sun is yet and will work on that in the next step.
I thought it was interesting how the chairs looked after being used as a reverse stencil.

I've also done today's sketch of my thumb - EDM 215:
I have hours of work to do on some new pictures for the web site I administer and should get on it before I return to the Adirondack chairs. Hopefully I will have some time later today to play with the addition of more layers.
Meanwhile, I still haven't heard from the winner of the Inktense pencil giveaway. Tracy, if I don't hear from you by the weekend, I will have to draw another winner. Please contact me so I can send you these lovely pencils.

That is neat how you cut the chairs out for reverse stencils. I hope to try pan pastels sometime - I've heard they are pretty cool. Have a great day.

You are off to a great start on your painting. I am taking the Donna Downey panpastels 101 and 102. They are so much fun to use.
ReplyDeleteI love the Adirondack chairs cut out like that -- you should use them in an art journal or collage when you have finished using them for the painting! Don't you dare throw them away :)
ReplyDeleteHow's the thumb healing?
The chairs are looking better and better =)
ReplyDeleteNice sketch on your thumb
Yes use the chairs, too good to throw away!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are too cute!!! Your thumb is pretty cute, too! hugs, nancy
