A TRIP THROUGH MY ART CREATION.

.

A TRIP THROUGH MY ART CREATION.

In the three main stages!

.

Art trip Example:

Part 1 of 3:

LAYOUT

.

This complete mess is the first of three stages.

.

Each stage takes roughly an hour-ish

.

The medium used is Neo Pastels

.

It will eventually become an A2 Art piece based on a Bar or Pub.

.

When it is finished I will charge 10£ including Post and Packing for it.

.

This is the stage where everything is just a layout.

Character in the scene have a yellow circle around them to help make them out,

But as yet, I have not decided what each of the characters will be.

.

I have marked out the Bar and countertop in light brown.

The floor is marked dark brown,

The back wall in Dark Blue.

.

There is a rough placement of bottles and some lemons cut in on bar tops.

.

There is also a rough placement of the door, some tables and the windows with thick red curtains.

.

But these are only placement codes, NOT the final colours that will be used.

.

The key is that this is not really a single picture,

But a load of separate pictures that happens to co-exist on the same page.

.

Each character (Except the externally small ones at the back) will each be given individual care and attention as almost a separate art piece.

.

I hope that once it is finished

That someone thoroughly enjoys owning it!

Part 2 of 3:

BLENDING

.

It still looks a mess…

But wait for it….

.

Each stage takes roughly an hour-ish

.

The medium used is Neo Pastels

.

It will eventually become an A2 Art piece based on a Bar or Pub.

.

When it is finished I will charge 10£ including Post and Packing for it.

.

All the main colours and characters are now there.

.

But the next bit, for me, is the most exciting.

.

Because now I get to

“Rub one out!”

(By that I mean a finished art piece!)

.

You do not just rub everything willy nilly though!

.

When I colour in,

I but a light and dark bases where I wanted the light and shadow to fall.

The light and dark bases are usually but not always a lighter and darker tone of the objects Middle colour.

For instance

If the floor is green, then I do the shadows dark green and the light effects light green.

I make the line of the colouring to follow the direction of the light and the shadows.

THEN I would cover the light and shadows gently with a very thin colour of middle green, following the direction of the floor.

.

THEN THE MAGIC BIT.

I will then blend and rub the colours

(Usually lightest to darkest first)

I would blend them in the direction of the lighting effects first.

Then tackle the “No man's Land” where the middle colour may not have any lighting effect under it.

.

The direction you choose to rub, at all times, is very important!

.

Then simply highlight and dark line where needed.

.

(Note: Dark lining is a sign that I screwed up slightly, If I do a really good job, NO added dark lines should be needed! – But more often than not I have to resort to it, at least a little bit!)

.

Some elements have already been rubbed, blended and highlighted to indicate what the finished effect might look like!

.

I hope that once it is finished

That someone thoroughly enjoys owning it!

.

(LAST PART)

.

FINISHED

And now I have very sore fingers!

But it was worth it!

(I only ever use my own fingers! Never a rubbing tool!)

(Rubbing tools are like sex with a condom – it just does not feel as fun!)

.

Each stage takes roughly an hour-ish

.

The medium used is Neo Pastels

.

It will eventually become an A2 Art piece based on a Bar or Pub.

.

I will charge 10£ including Post and Packing for it.

.

The last bit is the most difficult and dangerous bit.

.

Not because highlighting and shading is particularly difficult,

BUT leaning the thing the hall alone IS!

.

Nothing will kill what I have done so far, as surely as “overworking it”!

.

The hardest part is walking away!

.

So, now I will list it on several sites for sale.

.

That someone thoroughly enjoys owning it!
