Brushwork:

The distinctive technique in which an artist uses to apply paint with a brush onto a medium, such as canvas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went down to South Carolina to see my great-nephew Pierson, he is such a little cutie pie and I love his Superman poses! But then I think this kid may be Superman as he is already lifting his head, rolling over onto his side and tracking the movements of people. Yes, I saw all of this while I was down there, amazing for a month old baby to be doing all of that so soon!

Being away for 3 days I had to immerse myself back into drawing as soon as I got home. Some of my group have been doing Becca's doodle girl drawing and it felt great to do a fun project like this.

I used the left over Magicals to create a wash for her skin tone. So basically I cleaned off my brush each time onto her face. With all that colored hair it seemed unusual for her to have regular color skin! lol

The Sakura pens wrote over all the Magicals extremely well, I am continued to be impressed with this pen. Sometimes it is hard to find something that will write over micas and shimmery things without messing up the tips. 

entering my journal page in:


I used Magicals : Cotton Candy Pink, TiffanyLou's Blue, Milk Chocolate Brown, Dark Chocolate Brown, Ponderosa Pines Olive

SILKS Acrylic Glaze - African Jade

Twinkling H20,s - Dragonfire
( Comparing the Twinks to the Magicals: Both have fabulous shimmer but you don't have to wait for the Magical pot to dry out, or have to worry about the cap of the pot adhering itself to the rim if it gets tilted while drying out...the winner is Magicals! )

Sakura - Gellyroll pens

I think you should frame her. She is precious. The pen did you use a "BLACK" one or are you talking about the white one. I am having a pen delimia like most and just want to have the right one for the right job.
