Lovely. The use of the white conte crayon in this and a previous post is a bit of a revelation to me. I suppose it's somewhat obvious, but I never thought of using it before to lighted a passage and/or to create a mist-like effect.
lovely work.
Actually, i am always a bit startled that watercolor commands so much less price than oil in the world of auctions and selling art.
We have just hit winter here in Oz. Long shadows, cold, dank. Spring seems miles away and I miss it already after that. Lovely piece James.
Conte or chalk? I thought he said chalk.
Mark, it's actually Nupastel.
Sorry for my confusion Mark (and All) - regarding Conte/Nupastel. That's what I get for first watching this video at work with the audio muted. Thanks for the clarification James :^)
Tom and Mark, I did say chalk in the voiceover, but I think of white Nupastel as chalk, and you could use a white artist's chalk for the same thing.
Do you usually apply a fixative spray, so the Nupastel doesn't smear away after the painting is complete?
Carlos, no, it's just a thin layer, rubbed into the paper, and it's the page of a sketchbook, so it's kind of protected.
