Greetings @josediccus ,
How very kind of you to drop by....with your lovely comment.
Interesting that you mentioned the pink colour....the colour 'Pink' is a favourite...however in order to use it successfully in a painting..at least for me...it must transcend sweetness. That takes some practice..it was a goal last year and took most of year before I was satisfied that the colour was reading as I had hoped. Appreciate hearing your thoughts.
You queried...'What type of pencil did you use for sketch work?'
A Graphite Drawing pencil...2B
and ....'How long did you spent on it altogether?'
For me...The Inspiration and ideas have to percolate into a Composition....that takes time...sometimes a year more or less. Once the idea is on the Watercolour paper...the painter knows what to do, although colour can be a show stopper, even if one has figured out ahead of time. The actual drawing, painting time is close to three weeks.
Hope the above makes sense.
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
I was an artist when I was younger, so I know how it generally feels to look forward to being motivated. I have more of a Sketcher and that's why I asked the pencil you used and the time you took the finish it all.
3 weeks is such a time, sometimes we appreciate art even more when we realize how long it took to finish it and find the inspiration.
Thank you for your interest.
