Method:
1. No pencil first
2. Drew in the outline with my Lamy Al-star
3. Added darker outlines and shading with my Sailor Calligraphy pen
4. Used clear water to spread the ink
5. Added green to the top: ultramarine blue+cad. yellow
6. Added to the pineapple itself with: burnt sienna+cad. yellow
7. When the shaded side on the left had dried a little I added more pen to define
Your painting is superb. Especially I love your choice of colours. Very natural work, great.
ReplyDeleteThanks you very much Sirkka :-)
DeleteThanks for the step by step instructions. I always like to see how an artist developed their work.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same Penny, when artists explain things it's fascinating, so this was my version ;)
DeleteLove the washy ink look to this. Nice!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan.....the pen I used doesn't have permanent ink, so as soon as the watercolour/water touches it then the ink runs, which can be a good thing in many ways. Sometimes these things work in our favour don't they.
