It took me a while to get to this challenge and I don't like to see any of the other entries before I complete my tiles so that I will not be influenced in my drawing but,
Henrike Bratz has done a lovely job of illustrating this tangle and the many variations possible that it is hard to know if I was influenced or not. I figured this would be a mono - tangle since the space is not that big, so I experimented with all of those tools that I complained about last week.
This tile was started with a Zenstone "wash" followed by drawing the pattern with a black glaze Gelly Roll pen. Once the first layer was dry I went over the lines of the flower to make it a bit more raised. Then I used both black and white Prismacolor pencils to lighten and darken certain areas.
This tile was simply brown and black micron and black Prismacolor pencil.
I really like the second one!
ReplyDeleteBoth tiles are really nice, but the second one is my favorite. The use of color is great and I love the contrast between the straight lines and the more organic parts.
ReplyDeleteThe second is my fave too; lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow! The first one is fabulous. I have yet to try this. I just do not think about it. This looks really great. Am going to have to try it so can do a class on it as I think it gives some dramatic results. The second one is great also. Reminds me of a ornamental screen.
ReplyDeleteBoth very beautiful, but the first is my favorite. I love how you did this.
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful, but I really like the curly bits on the second one.
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful! Each of them has its own impression and I can´t decide for a favorite! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeletei like the depth of the first one, and the organic feel of the second one. It makes me want to go get a sepia pen! And a white one :)
