The sketching lesson this week focused on using colored paper with examples from Kate Johnson to use a white pencil for highlights. I sketched this spillway scene on mustard paper from a photo I took on the Eno River a few weeks ago. I really liked the ink and white pencil effect and will try this again!
You have been busy Lin!!!! Great job on these sketches. What kind of colored paper did you use? I have always wanted to try doing something on color. One more thing to think about.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. How coincidental too. I noticed one of my fellow L-D class-mates using white to highlight on darker paper just yesterday and thought to myself 'I must give that a go, it looks so good'. You are SO adventurous Lin. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteThis one is especially beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Lin,
ReplyDeleteYou have done a lovely job here. I have never tried using a white pencil, but interestingly I bought one last month so I need to take it out and give it a try. Water is one of the things that scares me most. Until now all my water drawings have been disasters.

Lin,
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely. I would never have thought about using white for hightlights. Now one more new thing to try.

Nice going, Lin. I like it. You've given me incentive to try another on the tan paper but use the white pencil as a highlight.
