Another water lily painting using the Elegant Writer technique where you draw around the subject with the Elegant Writer and bleed that out using just water and a soft brush. Then you add watercolor.
The first one, I left the lily white. This time I bled out the Elegant Writer pen marks and added a touch of violet.
The students finished their paintings today, using this technique.

Rhonda, really elegant and sophisticated! Weldone. Thank you for sharing the info. Cheers, Sadami

Dear Rhonda- I am really enjoying the art you are doing. The Elegant Writer certainly makes this piece sing. Hope you have a super day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sadami and Debbie :) Tinna, I'll have to come over and see your flowers - hope you posted them :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful Rhonda. I now havew to get one of these and give it a try! Thanks for teaching me about the process.
ReplyDeleteThe texture of this is wonderful. What size is it?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherry and Elizabeth (do try it, it's fun - you may even incorporate the pens and bleeding colors into your skies!).
ReplyDeleteAlice Jo, thanks so much. The first one is larger at 11 x 15 inches and this one is 10 x 12 inches. So both are fairly small, just to play with the technique.
love the texture of the water :D
ReplyDeletereally need to get some of these pens to try, they seems like fun :)
Thanks, Jennifer Rose :) Do try them - just for fun and for another tool in your art kit :)
ReplyDeletethis came out great. I like how you used the elegant writer pens for this. It worked really well with your image.
