Just a minor update to better define the “halo” on it’s lower right hand side.

An early experiment (they’re all experiments, aren’t they?) with colored pencil over watercolors. It was a bear to photograph because my camera was making it look way too grainy. I ended up using the blur filter in order to make it look right. Still a little work to do on it. I want to define the right side of the “halo” a little more.

So I was trying to upload an image to my (this) WordPress site and I kept getting an invalid JSON error. Turns out the pixel dimensions of the image were too large. It would have been helpful if the error message had said that.

So I was a little bored with this colored pencil drawing of a scarab and I knew I was planning to try a watercolor background even though it’s not watercolor paper. And things happened… I’m actually pleasantly surprised by how well this turned out. I knew the paper would buckle, especially given that I really soaked it with water, but it’s dried perfectly flat. The paper is 8×10 inch Strathmore 400 drawing paper. Now I have to go in and punch up the colors on the scarab.
