I haven't managed to get any Illustration Friday art done last week nor this week. Had ideas but not the time to do anything with the ideas. Been thinking a lot though of fibre craft things. I have been sewing beads on a felt bag that I made at a beginners class a few weeks ago. I love the felting look but I feel I need to stitch and bead it to give it some definition. I will post the final result when it is completed.
This post is to put on an artwork I did in a similar way to the bird I posted recently. It was a dyed paper that I drew on with gesso from a squeezee tube. I left this to dry for over a day, then coloured with oil pastels that I blended in with an old brush. I then added coloured pencil over that.
The idea came from a photo called "An armful of wildflowers" from "Bloom" magazine.
This is the paper after the dye and the gesso before I added the oil pastel or the coloured pencil. See you next blog!

What a interesting process and beautiful result. I've been working with paper mache to give my work some more texture, but you tempted me to try some gesso as well. Thanks.
Ooooh, I love the way this looks! I am going to have to try this method! The work you produced with it is just beautiful!
