Artist's Comments
ACEO Size: 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"
Medium: Derwent Aquatone woodless watercolor pencils, Sakura Koi watercolor, Prismacolor Colorless Blender Surface: Strathmore Aquarius II watercolor paper Inspired by a black and white photo reference in an ad, I chose a small section of leaf surface and drew it in Aquatone Bottle Green, then put all the pale little veins in with Prismacolor Colorless Blender. A soft tonal layer of May Green mixed with Emerald Green proved too light, so I started going in with two greens from my Sakura Koi set till I darkened those. I mixed colors into colors, adding some yellow ochre for interest on light bits, which eventually made the pale lines show up. Then while it was damp I used dry into wet, with the now-blunt bottle green Aquatone darkening selected sections. It has almost a batik look and is much looser than my usual realism -- but it also looks lively and did get the feel of sun shining right through the leaf. ACEO Leaf is posted at auction on eBay, or you can search on "Robs Art" to see all my current listings there. |
