Art & Ale Mixed Media, March, 2020

So you can see the various stages of the colored pencil in this one.  The grape on the left is probably 80-90% complete.  The others are less complete.  On the red grapes I layered white, scarlet lake, and black grape or indigo for the dark.  I have done 3-4 layers of the color with some white layers to blend in between.  I have also darkened and lightened the background around the grapes in order to add contrast so they pop forward.

I started working with colored pencil over the ink.  I have many more layers of colored pencil to do in order to get the texture, color, and values I want for this piece.

When class resumes I will continue with demonstrations on these two pieces.  Stay well and email with any questions.
