I think I get a little colour crazy in the Winter. Everywhere outside here is grey or brown or off white…no matter where you look…so I have been going a bit over the top with colour in my art.
I don’t remember ever drawing/painting a pig before. I kinda fancied him up a bit.
Started with a really simplified pen drawing on watercolour paper ( 9 x 12 inches)
Then used Derwent Inktense pencils…..used some water and a brush to activate the ink…..then pastel and pastel pencil after it dried. Couldn’t quite figure out how to add some of the foreground foliage at the end…
