Sketch Bag.

Another experiment. Sharpie on acrylic paint,

colour fabric marker. I have to think of a better way 

to use a "spray fix" or another option, it smeared

when I applied the KRYLON over the black line.

Pencil Box and Drawing Case.

It has been sometime since my last entry...busy over the holidays

and drawing time was few and far between.

I've taken up woodworking. 

Starting with simple boxes for my drawings

and supplies.

This is my first pencil box.

Wood is cut from picture framing

molding(scraps mostly) to make up the sides.

Hardboard panels make up the front

and back. Gesso is applied after sanding,

followed with a base coat of black

and brown acrylic paint.

This particular image started with a red pencil

drawing for structure. Gesso washes provide

the illumination, adding black pencil crayon

sharpens the detail.

This is the back of the box.

The blue circle is a cap for hairspray gel ,

makes a good container for ink.

 This is the base fore my drawing box,

starting with the washes again.

This is a work in progress,

colour to follow...yeah this was

totally experimental, no paint to work with

at the time. I made it work with gesso and

pencil crayons.

Thanks for visiting and Happy New Year!
