rough sketches in pencil
blocking with a light wash
adding layers of washes and details

Sometimes a project dictates the way you work.
When I'm working on my own I rarely ever draw anything out,
but I'm going to have to do a lot of drawing in the next month or so.
I have a pile of kneaded erasers, drafting pencils and my artograph light pad,
which is great for positioning a drawing under the watercolor paper and
eliminating unsightly pencil marks on the original.
I can't tell you what I'm working on yet,
but I'll share little snippets along the way.
See you soon!
I love seeing your works in progress!

ReplyDeleteGloria: Yes, fun, exciting, and different (for me)!
ReplyDeleteDear Golly Bard,
ReplyDeleteI do love seeing your work in progress. Makes one admire your work even more when it is stripped down to the nuts and bolts. Can I ask you what size lightpad you use? I have never come across them before. I have been asking my electrician husband to make me one for too many years now for my graphic design work!
Best wishes,
Emma
Emma: I am using the large Artograph LED light pad. I don't use it much for fine art work, however it's so great and so helpful for illustration projects and other design work especially. You can buy here: http://www.dickblick.com/products/artograph-led-lightpad-series/
