We had ANOTHER snow/ice day Thursday. I'm really tired of this weather, but an extra day stuck at home meant I might as well paint.
My painting studio is not heated. So my acrylic and oil paints were not in any condition to use.
So I decided to use one of my canvases and commemorate last weekends race.
Kylie and Lexi "helped" by offering lots of suggestions and feedback. They let me use their pencils and erasers..
Here is my drawing.
It's a compilation of Libby running here and the picture that I took of the course the night before the race... with a few artistic changes. :)
I used watercolor pencils and laid down the first layer of color on the canvas. Watercolor pencils on canvas is weird because the pigment flakes off the canvas as you work.
I then painted the watercolor on with water and brushes.
I was planning to go back in with tube watercolors and maybe even a black pen to push details, but I really like the painting as it is.
So is it finished?
What do you think?
