One Pose, Four Different Media

't

 

This drawing is actually an assignment for the drawing class. We have to darw the same pose in four different media and better in mixed media. I used Conte crayon, Conte crayon mixed with sofe pastel, line over ink wash, and watercolor with graphite. I enjoyed it very much. When you experiment with media, there is always some unexpected effect. I forgot to use salt shaker with the ink wash. it is said to have a very interesting effect. One of my artist friends even mixed ink with coffee or tea. He said, "If it doesn't look good, don't use it. That's all." Truly, Artsits have been constently inventing new techniques or tools.
