Inktober prompt: Hope. White and red ink on black paper. (For some reason the scan makes the white look a little blue, but I only used the two colours.)
This is part of a series of native portraits I created after traveling through the Amazon rainforest. I use colored pencils, paint markers, house paint and enhance the drawing in photoshop.
I worked on a Portuguese wine bottle with Posca markers. This is an original and unique artwork. This bottle can now be used as a small vase or a pretty carafe
My friend Steve from the art studio suggested we do studies in blue in honor of the #lightitblue campaign. Just when I was needing some inspiration! These are the late afternoon tree shadows at the foot of my garden.
For some reason I tried some floral drawings, of different shapes, and I also used mixtures of different colors to produce hues of green. The first page - it’s a mix of the cobalt blue (PB 28) and cadmium yellow medium (PY 35). On the second one there is ultramarine (PB 29) for the blue color and the same yellow paint. To me, it seems the difference is very little but I’ve got the color closest to the ‘normal’ green using Cobalt rather than ultramarines. The latter gave either to yellowish to olive hues or too blueysh
