recently, my dear friend Abigail taught me to use a Stabilo Aquarellable pencil
to sketch with and then take gesso to it to transform it into paint, much like one would take a wet brush
to a watercolor pencil.
I believe she learned it from Misty Mawn.
This technique was quite challenging for me,
yet I have been hooked!
I have a wee moleskine 3.5"x5.5" journal and have been creating faces every chance I get with this technique.
Somehow i think it brings a new spirit to my art. I love this about new techniques!
see the sketch on the right:
then i work the lines with gesso:
something about one color, golden
and then the white gesso that is interesting to me:
i think this is my favorite, sorry the scan is a little blurry:
