This is the third layer of Village Windows, and the last. It couldn’t go much further from here. The big surprise came when I added water to the sky. Soooooo much purple!
And after that, I added more color pencil and more water, and finally more iron gall ink with my dip pen. I kept to my two things – the ink, the layers of pencils. I added colors as I went, just exploring. I felt that it was a good thing to do as this is really the first picture I have ever done with watercolor pencils. I have the Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer ones, with 60 colors.
Dimension is not something I am really good at – perspective. Things get cattywumpus. In fact, per my eye doctor, I have no depth perception at all, and may have never had it in the normal sense that most people have. Even when I was 18 I was told that. Good? Bad? I manage – I don’t wander around banging off the wall!
And here is the final picture. Parts work, parts don’t. Watercolor pencils are really interesting, just as is the iron gall ink. As an experiment in a new media altogether, I rather enjoyed the experience. I did learn a bit in the process, which was the point – how and what to do with watercolor pencils? I couldn’t write a dissertation on it. I can tell you it was a lot of fun, and I know I will revisit them in the future.
