Grape N Wine



This is my latest work on colored pencils on Pastel board 12x16. It took me about 120 Hrs over 25 days.



Procedure :

1. After transferring the line drawing on to the pastelboard, i laid a layer of neocolors ii (water soluble crayon). Remember to keep the highlights light and darkest areas dark. Always go for same color u see in the original cos sometime neocolors do not blend well with different colored colorpencils
2. Water wash the neocolors and let it dry completely for 10-15 mins (again time depends on your piece ).
3. Gave details using colored pencils. Ran the dry bristle brush over to blend the colors completely. Some time u may have to use damp brush to get the correct color (brush should hold very little water)
4. Sprayed with fixative and varnish

Catch u soon with another piece :)
