we've had overcast skies and lots of rain for the past couple of days, so this little gray doodle sure fits the mood. to create this, i used a leaf rubber stamp, staz-on ink, "shades of gray" pitt pens, micron pens, an 8B pencil, and techniques that i learned in pam carriker's online class, shades of gray.
here's looking forward to bluer skies tomorrow!!
I am just so amazed at how you can make the LACK of color look so fun.You are so good at what you do.

It's a mini masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteYour gray days are addictive! I tried something similar to your previous gray post (ok, ok, not knowing much about shading, I mostly copied yours, but it was for practice only!). One thing that didn't surprise me a bit, was the amount of time needed for a small masterpiece like yours are. And I wasn't even close!
ReplyDeleteLori, love the leaf design and the easel is a great touch. Great shading, Hugs
ReplyDeleteAnd they are getting better and better! Love every one!!!
ReplyDeleteI just connected why you liked the b&w quilt blocks and the shadows. It's exactly what you are playing with these days! Looks like you are having so much fun with this.

How perfect your little drawing looks on your adorable easel! I love your grays, Lori. I hope your days are sunnier now! Big hugs, Paulette xoxo
