A quick sketch done at Burano in the Venetian Lagoon. It was done with gouache and watercolour on mylar, which is not a combination I recommend. Mylar is barely water-absorbant, so the paint sits on the surface and shows a heavy texture. Also, the moisture tends to crinkle the mylar, which is visible here.
It's a nice boat, though.
Cool texture. Cool boat. Like the water more than you - crinkles can be good. Maybe not the best medium for pretty girl faces though.
ReplyDeleteyeah, the mylar does force one to work in a graphic, Mathurin Meheut-ish style. Which can be a good thing...
ReplyDeleteI will skip on the pretty faces, though.
