Painting - Acrylic And Ballpoint Pen On Canvas
Description
This was commissioned of a client's late pet. I used a photograph supplied from her. I have a tendency to try WHATEVER might work, so after doing the initial pencil outline on canvas, I used ballpoint ink to follow the lines of the fur. I THEN made what I thought was a mistake when I started to lay down a wash for color to be added on top. What HAPPENED was that the ink SPREAD and became DARKER. But this actually helped me to have solid dark black colors to add on top of with lighter acrylics AFTER I had used spray fixative to make sure no more bleeding occurred. Throughout the process, I would do other inks though, as I kind of layered it. I eventually got around to doing a wash for the background, the wood floor Scrappy stands upon. First I did a wash of light burnt sienna. Afterwards I used some ballpoint ink for the lines between the wood and let it do what it would once I sprayed water from a spritz bottle on it and then added the brown streaks in the wood over the wash. Once all was dry, I added some Payne's Gray (which I generally prefer over black) in a wash to add some shadow on the wood floor.
