These are a part of a series I am creating for a family in my church. They are base on a song about Noah's Ark...called "De Animals a Comin". Fun song! I am creating these with watercolor pencils. Next step once approved is to paint over them with water then add ink. I will post updates.
I decided to pull out my watercolor pencils again...been a while. The image you see hasn't been touched over with water and brush yet. I figured it might be nice to see the before and after. Next I will re-post the drawing after going over it with brush and water. Just a little study to see how the colors will react with each other...wondering if it might get muddy....we will see!
This Christmas my wife bought a Derwent water color pencil set for me! And I love it! I did a test with the pencils a few months ago, using a friend's set. This sketch/painting came from a picture of a cottage store in Brown County, Indiana. I also added some ink to it afterwords.
I haven't posted anything new in a while, but I am working on a few things in my studio. Until then here is a watercolor pencil test I did today. Thanks Vince! I want some!
