I saw the pic on the top half of the picture below a couple of days ago somewhere and saved it for inspiration. The man's signature that is on the bottom of it is Ed Rangel F.
So yesterday I drew my own version and truied to watercolor paint it on #strathmorewatercolorpaper . Once before I bought Strathmore watercolor paper and returned it because I didn't like it, (it was like that was too much sizing on it acted like Jell-O on top of the paper and took forever to dry ) and the experience was no different this time.
I've become spoiled to #archeswatercolorpaper especially since it's #100%cottonrag . The paints act so much nicer and the paper doesn't wear out from manipulation, nor does it buckle as much as wood pulp paper does. But I digress...
As many of you may have noticed I am in love with toned paper for using my #prismacolor #pencils on lately. So after my failed painting I decided to use the Strathmore watercolor paper to color pencil on. In making that decision I also decided I also wanted to try to make my own #graytonepaper . So I got out the #bombayink and gave it a whirl. I find that when I use inks I can draw on top of it and if I have to erase something he does not erase my background as easily as it would with watercolor. I also used an #irridescent additive.
OMGoodness it turned out beautiful so stay tuned for pictures because I'm going to try and do another one of these #abstract #flowers using #colorpencil this time.

My version was so awful I did not even finish it. I think part of the problem was I used to many colors! I need to use some more limited palette.
Here is a shot of the Gray paper I painted. I really wish you could see how beautiful the iridescence is on it.
Stay tuned there will be another abstract coming down the pike soon.
Signing off for now…
