I've been clearing clutter from my studio which means I haven't been making art... it was a total disaster. However, I promised myself, at least one piece a week so Friday I did a something I haven't done in a very long time... colored pencil... a turtle that was one of the images from the wet canvas weekend drawing event... I'm quite pleased with how it came out. I like turtles... they are a good reminder.... if you're going to get anywhere you've got to stick your neck out.
Your turtle is lovely - I like the strong values you've got from coloured pencil.
ReplyDeleteI also thought you'd be interested in this post I was sent today, Helen, from 'Layers of Meaning' blog - http://layersofmeaning.org/wp/?p=345 - about encaustic, which I've seen you use very effectively on your blog.
Beautiful job on this with your colored pencils. Very vibrant!!
ReplyDeleteI love turtles. They know how to live....slow and easy! This is an exquisite rendering of such a noble creature!
