The finished product from my contour drawing in watercolor and gouache on Arches 140 CP paper.

Contour Line Figure/Mixed Media

A few days ago I got the pen (Pigma Micron 01) Karlyn Holman gave me and began a continuous contour line drawing beginning at my head. With these type drawings you cannot let up on the pen so some lines are repetitive. It is on the back of a failed tulip watercolor, hence the bleedover colors you see. Last night I applied bubble wrap stamped texture using white acrylic. Then I brushed in a few places a mixture of 1/2 gesso and 1/2 water 1:1 ratio. This will be a mixed watermedia piece in preparation for my 23 April all day class at my studio.
