Tangled in Colors
'' x "
For this breadth, I used watercolor and pencil. First I did a contour drawing of my friend Dallas. You can find her blog here, http://dthreadgillart.blogspot.com/. I then transferred my drawing, using a light box, onto watercolor paper, which I had soaked for ten minutes and dried using paper towels. Before painting over the pencil, I practiced on a small piece of watercolor paper to make sure the pencil wouldn’t smear. After transferring my drawing, I picked the colors I wanted to use for this piece and began painting. I decided to have a little fun with the painting by mixing reds and yellows and flicking paint from the brush, using my finger, to give it a splattered effect. This was a quick piece of art to do and allows you to have a good time while painting. I encourage everyone to play around and paint with watercolor. You won’t regret it!
