    8.5×11.5 mixed media on matboard just completed today (sorry Karen (dupliKate), total time about 2.5 hours. Starting with Magic colored pencils the scene was sketched, then Caran d’ Ache watersoluble wax crayons all over and blended with a wet brush…still did not work :rolleyes: so added acrylic and that seemed to tie the three media together. Loved the reference, so thanks Karen, and apologies for lateness. :wink2:
    C&C welcome :cool:

            Oh Wow! This is just beautiful. The colour is so rich…so much depth. I’m so glad I got to see this. I love it!

                😀😀😀
                agreeing with dupliKate, the color is rich yet translucent. i love the rhythms in this! all the lines, dancing, the depth creates expectation. it makes me happy for no particular reason. what a joy to see!

                C&C welcome

                        Kay, I think you have brought this scene ALIVE, with wonderful colors, contrasting values, and expert drawing. The ladies seem right at home, very natural, enjoying their chat — and everything directs the eye toward them as the focal point. WOW! — that’s really knowing what you’re doing! It’s very instructive about how to build a painting effectively, and I take note :)

                        Aesthetically speaking, I agree with ronsu: i love the rhythms in this! all the lines, dancing… :thumbsup:

                            Some of your best! You took on something so complicated, and expressed it so well!

                            Thanks to you all for commenting. Using three different media finally the acrylics made it click.
