| 'GERALDINE, THE GREEN DREAMER' Coloured Pencil on Canvas Paper - by Jez |
I was quite surprised and pleased with the result, and because of the 29 Faces challenge to move outside our comfort zone, I have found a new way of drawing and colouring that is very effective.
Here is an enlarged section of the page, giving a close-up of the canvas paper texture:
I like the fact that the 'wells' in the canvas texture remain white and give a glow to the face. If I want to add a little shading I just need to colour with more pressure in order to fill the 'wells' a little more.
I'm very pleased with Geraldine, and will certainly repeating the process. I hope one or two of you might be encouraged to try coloured pencil on canvas paper.

I agree about the texture with the canvas. It makes a very very interesting pattern. This is very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis does make a great textured background, as Lindsay says very ethereal.
ReplyDeleteI sense angelic energy when I look at this Jez, it feels quite healing. Love the textured background to this.
ReplyDeleteWell, yes, that sounds like something I'd like to try out. It does give a lovely texture. I love her dreaminess and peacefullness ....
ReplyDeleteThe texture is wonderful. I'm so glad you took the close-up photo to really show it off.
ReplyDeleteI think the greenish hair looks great on your Green Dreamer. I think she's an angel, thinking over the assignment she has just been given. See the pensive look on her face. I also like the canvas paper. Along with the colored pencils it gives a very different effect.
