Drawing

Don’t blend your clouds (sketch: Clouds)

Comment?

By Henk ter Heide

Painting with toilet paper

A few months ago I made a beautiful drawing in which I used a blending technique that seemed almost like painting.
Usually you draw some color on your sheet and rub it either with a tortillon or a piece of toilet paper. This time however I drew the color on a seperate piece of paper and pulled onto my drawing.

Gray on gray

In an attempt to get the shapes I see in the clouds above my head I wanted to try this technique. But a few minutes after starting with the clouds I realized that it wouldn’t work.
With Nova I used a bright yellow color as foreground and the white of the paper as background. But here I wanted to use gray both as foreground and background. You just wouldn’t see it.

Argh! Those clouds are turning out to be a whole of a lot more difficult to draw then I thought.
