Art: Be Bop A Lula Peach by Artist Shelly Bedsaul
4th in a series of 4. This series just put me in the frame of mind of 50's diners, jukeboxes and early rock n roll. It's been fun, but now I can finally get that song out of my head. My technique, though time consuming, is simple. I start with a preliminary sketch in graphite. When my design is satisfactory, I ink the sketch, using a black, 05, pigma micron pen. I use Prismacolor pencils. Each area is a layering of about 5 different colors, going from dark to light, until the paper is totally burnished. Once the coloring is complete, I re-ink to make the line work a true black. It is then sprayed with workable fixatif to seal, protect and prevent wax bloom. The substrate is Crescent archival rag board.
