20140415 - Bunny Sketch

As I noted in my previous post, I decided to try using blue as the ink for the pen & ink work. This sketch is my sketchbook, rather than on watercolor paper. So, it's not quite what I would expect from the colors. But overall, I'm happier with that color.


However, I may use my water brush to apply the lines rather than a brush pen. I think the lines come out just a bit too strong (in either red or blue). In the final painting, I will use a blue/red color. A "rose" color. Also, I will probably use very light line work with brown ink on all the animals (stuffed and not). The brown of the rabbit is closer to actual brown of the rabbit. I will avoid using the ink as the under painting for this painting. (Note how the ink provides depth to the shadows on the animals. Unfortunately, with these animals it interferes with their coloring. So, in the final painting, I will only use watercolor for adding the shading.

Of course, as you can see, the shading on the stuffed animals is just a quick sketch of what's needed. The shading in the previous study was much better. I hope to attain that (or better) in the final painting.

Now to make my watercolor paper canvas as outlined in the following three posts:

I hope you are looking forward to the final painting. I know I am.
