Description

look! real media! hallelujah, praise da lord! it's a miracle.

actually, it's just the fact that i'm finally (!!!) done with all my insane English. so i can concentrate on art that is not just...you know. i don't know. my art has been a little superficial, even since 'theme of arcs.' i'm really looking forward to being able to continue my explorations in media and composition.

this is one of those! it's watercolor (i suck so much at watercolor) over ballpoint pen. i LOVE shading with ballpoint pen, so i've been experimenting with using it a lot. i am actually quite happy with this picture.

it was done from a photo of me sitting on the steps of the Tippecanoe Battlefield Monument and wearing little wingies. the photo was actually taken like...two or three years ago. before the fuchsia hair, obviously. the series of photos has always been close to my heart and i am glad to have the opportunity to do something with them.

i wanted this to be really simple, and i was playing with centers of interest, and color a little bit as well. so yes, very happy wtih this--possibly because it's the first thing i've been able to spend the amount of time i wanted on. i'm going to put it up for sale, $20. it's on 9x12" watercolor paper and i'll mat it if anyone wants to buy it. email me at yjudaes@yahoo.com if you're interested.

yes, i dare to hope.

Watercolour over pen is the best thing ever. I love the colours. And your little wreath-thingy.
