Water Splash on Black

This time out I attempted a water splash on black card stock ... only thing is, the colored paper had a bit of texture which kept complicating the drawing ... I should have just started over with a smooth sheet of black, oh well!  This one was completed using colored pencils ... the white highlights were a bit on the dull side so I took a watercolor pencil and wetted it slightly to achieve the brighter whites.

Water splashes are NOT easy to do!  But, I'll try a few more ....



Again, the original is for sale in my Etsy Shop and I will not be making any open or limited edition prints.

Happy Day!
Karen Anne

    Hi Stacy, Hi Debbie! Sorry I didn't respond earlier ... I am doggie sitting my son's two dogs while the family is on vacation in Hawaii ... I am learning it is quite hard to get anything done with 3 dogs always wanting to occupy my lap! LOL!

    So sweet of you both to leave such nice comments! I have to admit, water splashes are NOT my strong suit!
