Description Who says all cats and birds are mortal enemies?

Watercolour and some serious masking .... helped by those pens that erase cartridge ink ( I really recommend a little trial and error on a practise piece to see what those things can do - some brands are better than others but I used cheap ones as they die really quickly sucking up watercolour ink!)

- 99.5% traditional work with 0.5% digital work to tidy it up

Nice!!!! The colors are lovely. Did you use Frisket or something else?

HannahChapman In reply to JoyfulColor [2010-06-22 09:44:22 +0000 UTC]

Not for this piece, although I've used something similar to frisket for some of the others like this where larger spaces are uncoloured!

For this one I think I used gum masking fluid - a sticky and unpredictable nightmare *-* I always regret using it the moment I start when it clumps on the brush!! ( I think it's the fact you can peel it off like a face mask that attracts me ... ) and a lot of ink correcter pens (around the edges) that bleach out the pigment - and white watercolour as well to damp down stubborn spots the denser pigment of white watercolour was a lifesaver for this piece!

Wow! this must have been a lot of work, and so fulfilling once you finally pulled off all of the tape and stuff. I really love the white with the strong colours in the background. And, those swirls on the left and the tree on the right are magnificent

Wow, the colors look awesome!
How did you do the masking, or was it all done by those erasing pens?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

HannahChapman In reply to MysticaMisery [2008-04-21 10:37:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! The larger parts were masked and the eraser pens took out the other bits - they leave a sort of muddiness though, which is where the digital clean up comes in and whitens the parts that needed it

I love this piece so much that I bought it as a mouse pad. Woah, isn't that ironic... a cat and bird MOUSE pad.

I don't think your inspiration knows any bounds. Your work always brings a smile to my face.
