Art: Autumn Oak (sold) by Artist Shelly Bedsaul
Fall has been particularly gorgeous this year. I our area we had plenty of rain for healthy growth. I’ve never really noticed the fall color in the area till now. Oaks have always been my favorite. 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.
