I started this as an exercise in finding the color in the image of a rainbow. I like it so much that it now has a catalog number and will appear in my Artfinder Gallery Shop. It has a mysterious feel to it don’t you think? I tried a version without the ghost rainbow, but it definitely lost something.
I didn't enhance the original image, merely cropped and rotated. I then went in with Markup and tried all the tools until I hit on the colored pencil. I love that you can change the width of the line and the transparency of the tools, but the colored pencil can be used in such a way that it mimics pastel. No wonder Degas was enthralled by this medium, it’s simply yummy.
I purchased some simple white frames today and I will be mounting some of these one finger drawings in them for the upcoming U100 show ay Lake Country Art Gallery. I can’t wait to see how they will look.
