Woven Tangles Part 3

Last Friday Art Clubbers and I finished the Woven tangles series. We worked on a colorful version of Nubia (Oswaldo Burbano Sandoval), with embellished ribbons over watercolor pencil base.

We started by developing a distorted version of Nubia — super fun to do over hotpressed watercolor paper.

Next, we went into detailed technique of how to create a gradient leaving the center highlight intact using watercolor pencils blended with a water brush.

After painting the background, we embellished the ribbons.

And finally, we completed the shading using regular colored pencils.

Here's a close-up for you to inspect:

Super fun session! Feel free to share or pin these pictures.
