UKULELE

Here is another drawing in the same medium/method of prepared ground with pastel/charcoal. I used some metallic paints to do the top coat thinking that it would look really cool. Well, it did, but it also made the surface so slick the pastel and charcoal wouldn't stick to it. I was actually taking the tape off to throw it away when I had a brainstorm. I painted thin washes over the surface of where I needed to draw. When that dried I ended up being able to draw on top of it. The result is nice, but I like the 'atmosphere' of my tin snips better... Any thoughts from anyone?

Kinda reminds me of something that should be on black velvet...

I don't have any insight as far as the artsy side goes, I'm pretty backward when it comes to that, but I can tell you that I think it is completly amazing! I really like it, you did an awesome job, and are SO talented!!

Now that is art I would hang in my house! In my music room, if I had one. I guess I do, but it is also my living room, family room, play room, and dining room occasionally. Is it for sale? :)
