Magical Shadow Drawing
I previously made this water color painting of mushrooms, and now I decided to try to paint with ink on the back of that to see what happens!
I got the idea from a book I saw at the library, but I had no idea if it would work on a watercolor painting!
So these black and white animals or shadow figures are drawn on the backside of a watercolor drawing and when you turn it to face the mushroom side, at first you cannot see anything, but when you light through the paper with a flashlight or turn it towards the window, the little shadow figures begin to appear and you can go on a discovery to see what hides behind the leaves!
To fully see the effect, watch my dTube video where you can see how you can find all the hidden creatures with a flashlight!
I think this is a really fun idea for kids to explore art.
I must say it worked pretty well, but the different layers and strong lines of the watercolor painting made it a bit difficult to see some of the animals. I think it would work better with a less contrasted picture.
I made the whole background piece with black chinese ink and rotring rapidograph ink pen.
Thank you for stopping by! <3

This is a very good ink art and is really cool what you did it at the reverse of another painting, somehow I completely missed it, kinda feel bad for not seeing it before the contest ended.
