STAGE 1 This is the first stage of my new painting. It's a 30 by30 inch stretched canvas, so there were several technical difficulties I had to overcome before I could get to this stage., the main one being that my hands are not as steady as they once were. Another one was finding the right pen....after pencilling the lines, I have to redo them with pen or else the graphite will colour my paint. After going over all the lines with a technical pen, I used warm soapy water and a rag to clean the graphite off......but the ink wasn't waterproof as I expected......so I tried to use an eraser, which is very tedious on a piece this size and will always leave smudges.....but the eraser smeared the ink......So it was off to the Art-Supply store for technical pens that are guaranteed to have permanent ink.........I re-drew all these lines this morning and cleaned it with an eraser.....I might use soap and water after it sets a bit longer......As long as the ink doesn't smudge into the paint I'll be OK with it......Stay tuned for stage 2.....colour......cheerful, light colours to welcome the Sun back, I think.. |

It takes much work, I guess. I will look forward the full color painting.

So far very interesting. Looking forward like the rest have said, to the finished project!

I remember someone saying that creativity is 99 parts perspiration and 1 part inspiration~~~~ [or was it genius?] Seems like that's how you have begun! ^5!!

Your drawing is beautiful Sparkle, I love it! I fully understand your problem, I have a similar condition with my hands and know it can be a pain in the neck! Just a suggestion...would spray painting be any easier for you? I know it's not a great solution, but you have so much talent it makes me sad that you are finding such difficulty. My best wishes for success in this painting
