Chinese proverb
Well, this is the third in my series of Art Deco colored pencil drawings. I am slowly learning how the pencils work ~ new terms like burnishing and overlaying are part of my vocabulary now. I am also picking up new techniques like laying my work on a heating pad so the color spreads more easily, using Q-tips to blend colors, filling my shadows with a light dusting of indigo blue. I must admit, however, that I am getting a bit tired of flowers. One more floral drawing is already in the works but am now thinking of moving on to art deco patterns. Anyway, I highly recommend this medium to anyone who is considering trying their hand at art. It allows for a lot of control ~ so unlike watercolor!
