Very quick sketch inspired by Dede's stream
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/inkwell a few weeks back. The background uses Dylusions Colour Wash Sprays, the frog was sketched over these and coloured with just 2 Neo Colours (Ice Blue & Golden yellow) - The rest of the colouring came from the background as it interacted with the Neos. Next time I try this technique, I will use watercolour paper instead of the cheap sketch paper I had to hand. The sketch (cartridge paper) made the Neos hard to blend, and they also bled out of the lines. He only took about 15mins to do, so I still kind of like him as a little practice piece.
your froggy is very adorable, love the colours and he has such a cute eye

I like your frog and can't believe how quickly you did this. The colors are just beautiful. Love this piece.
ReplyDeletePractice or not it still looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI think the frog is fabulous, even on that paper! I agree his eye is his best feature.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful, I really love frogs.
ReplyDeleteI think this is great. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteThia is simply amazing! The colors are fabulous and the frog sooo cute! Awesome! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love your results. While I typically find frogs rather creepy, I think this one is so NOT creepy. I think I'd even admire him if he landed on me.
ReplyDeleteI adore frogs and gasped when I saw this. If this was for sale in an art shop I would be snapping it up. Just fab :-)
