"Playing with Binoculars" (IF)

Acrylic Wash on Watercolor Paper
9x12"
(click to enlarge)
I was playing around with a still life, using contour line with acrylic wash. I had fun experimenting so I thought it kind of fit the theme of "Play" for Illustration Friday. I'll be putting up an illo on my blog Sketchbook Pages in a couple of days. It's the next installment of "Pinky & the Blue-Freckled Butterfly."

The yellows running through this peice really bring it out. A really interesting technique. Reminds me of a blend of cubism, plus with all the vivid colors, impressionistic. Thanks for sharing! Very nice!

I thought you'd vanished, but you were just playing on another blog (which also looks quite good, btw - just had a quick spin through the archives). I love this piece, light seems to come through it, like a stained glass window.

It looks like a batik printing which the parts of the fabric not intended to be dyed are covered with removable wax.
