I used my own photo - or part of it - and I draw the shapes with soft vine charcoal first (eraseable) and then used Nupastel bottle green to fill in all dark patterns. Then I carefully with a small brush used turpenoid to blend the darks in more fully. The palm tree reflections made interesting patterns and were quite detailed and challenging to get them in. So because of this I used almost all nupastels to get in these tiny areas.Carolyn Jean Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506017413314219268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678985433950954036.post-14074682986905322192010-08-12T12:41:53.302-07:002010-08-12T12:41:53.302-07:00Now, how did you do this?

Must have photo references I guess. However you do it, this is nice work.Ida M. Glazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168162507681364472noreply@blogger.com
