ART EXPLOSION, THIS IS WEEK 54!
Thrilled about finding an art competition, and even more thrilled that it was a no theme, this week!
So I stuck to my much loved ocean theme. I find it suits my style very well. Watercolor and ink.
so I've tried numerous ways of doing my art style, but I always end up preferring to do it with the watercolor first, and secondly the lineart or ink over it.
This was my initial sketch I did. it's always very loose, but composition and balance is what I'm looking for mostly at this stage.
Mr whale doesn't look very inviting at the watercolor stage either. but I'm making sure I know where I want my shading, and I have movement in color and shapes on the paper for my lines with the ink which is next.

So you do the line work in the end so to speak?
Looks really cool by the way.

I love how you use colors first. It reminds me the paintings of Reverón. Keep going! beautiful art!
Being mostly self taught and not well versed about many artists, I was intrigued by your artist reference. Thank you for that. Much appreciated.

Hi saltyseagull,
Visit curiesteem.com or join the Curie Discord community to learn more.
This is one beautiful whale. I never thought of combining line art and water color medium in this matter. I think I just found another inspiration for a technique but using digital media, thanks for the inspiration! :D
It would be interesting to see the technique used in digital media. Can't wait to see it.
