First the pear, done in my sketchbook using Derwent XL graphite sticks. A quick one to start the day.
Yesterday I made some progress on one of the starts. Here are all of the stages so far....
Step one, just putting down color and collage elements. Center top is gold from a piece of Joss Paper.
Next, three coats of white covers everything, well almost covers. I can still see the Joss Paper.
Next step is to spray with a bit of alcohol and scrap with a single edge razor and scratch with an exacto knife. The gold on the Joss Paper is gone. Now I know that doesn't work.
The next step is a coat of Quinacrodone Gold, one of my new favorite colors, The white is from my camera, it is the same light gold as everywhere else.
Once that was dry I added black and rubbed it off. I like the combination of black and gold.
.Last step yesterday was to add a bit of Cerulean blue and then rub it away. Some of the black came away with it and now I have a spot dead center.... a problem to solve. That will be my task today.
And maybe another version of the pear in the morning...
