Once that had
dried, I decided to add some of those lines that appear on the agave leaves and
miskited those in. Then I added another
layer of greens, slightly darker in some areas.
Since it
would be a while before I got back to the painting, in order to keep the ink
from drying out, I poured it into some small bottles with lids.
At this point
in her painting, Barb began painting in watercolor. However, I just couldn’t let that ink go to
waste, so I painted a layer of ink at this point, using it just like I would
watercolor. When that layer dried I
removed the miskit.
Deb - looks like Barb really inspired you. This is such a great painting with the vivid greens and also the white tips really show it off. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a great week-end.
ReplyDeleteDeb,
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice...in my opinion you selected a perfect subject for this process. Your light is so nice in this, too.
Thanks Barb - I'm working on a peony also, hope to get it finished soon and post it. Could not seem to keep within the lines as you did, tho.
