Description

Still Life - Observation Study In Colored Pencil
by Travis // Man Ho Park
Media: 24 Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils
Canvas Size: 14'' x 17'' Bristol Paper.
Accumulated Draw Time: 25 hrs?

This is a still life study done entirely in colored pencils which means that once the colored pencils are down, they are drawn permanent and cannot be erased. The idea here was not about using graphite, so I could not erase my permanent marks.

Another aspect of this drawing is the use of mirrors. If you have not noticed yet the reflected images in the mirrors are drawn in complementary colors to the original objects.

Since a portion was completed in class, and another portion was completed at home, I was able to spend more time on it. Overall I think this is a fairly successful drawing. This technique I used here was pretty precise. I added weight to the pencil so the colors are placed more solid on the paper. The use of a white colored pencil was used to blend other colors together. This helps make the drawing look more smoother.

Well, I must say that you are quite the artist. I came to your site from your piano escapade. Lovely on all accounts. I really enjoy your use of color.
