| "Peach and Purple Ribbon" 5 x 7" Colored Pencil and Washes on Un-primed Cotton Canvas |
I was so excited to try out the technique (yes, I signed up for the class) that I fudged on the materials. I didn't have the #8 cotton duck so I cut up a tote bag - same material. I didn't have the waterproof inks so I used some Neocolor II wax pastel crayons that I've had forever. There were a few other things that were on the list of materials that I didn't want to purchase until I tried the basic technique.
Always being a sucker for texture in paintings/drawings, I loved working with the cotton duck. In person the drawing almost looks like it is done in needlepoint. As soon as I finished this small experiment I ordered all the official products and now will sit by the mailbox waiting for my new toys to arrive - #8 cotton duck, Higgins waterproof inks (red, yellow, blue and black) and pumice. Stay tuned.

Orange and purple is always such a great color combo - I like how you've used it here.
Interesting technique, the image looks very soft, homey.
Ohhh..I love the texture! It sounds like an interesting technique, and fun to do too. I love all of your work!
Oh Cindy, I took his class too! It was fun and interesting. I've been planning on playing with his ideas, adding a few of my own to it.
Great painting! Very nice job!
