First Sight – 14x11 – Mixed media on paper
This painting was inspired by the dress my friend Kathleen was wearing when I first met her. I haven't done much with colored pencils lately but this work combines them with graphite on paper and instead of using a Titanium White or Titan Buff for the 'veil', I mixed gesso with acrylic matte medium. It has a nice feel on the hot press Arches watercolor paper and I can easily control the opacity. The matte medium nicely stabilizes the pencil, so I've also done some similar work on canvas which won't need to be under glass.
