This parade of pets background is stippled with Copic Markers. 6 different colors of light yellow to dark orange were used to bring to life the marigolds. It took 20 hours just to color the background and boarder.
I look forward to doing more art like this.
See tomorrow’s past to see an extra special addition to this piece.
I’ve got to spray it with the UV coating but it will be at IndyFurCon (unless someone msg’s me and buys it first). If there are original art pieces you want to make sure I have at IFC for you to see in person for chance to buy than you should msg me.
This on is copic marker of Bristol Vellum. It will be framed to 16×20” in a white frame.
This tasty summer treat will be on display at the Ann Arbor art fair. I will be on Liberty in front of the post office between 4th and 5th.
The world is full of magic and every person has the potential to bring it out. Oh I know it sounds cheesy but y’all are special to me.
This is matted to a 20”x16” frame. It’s fine w Copic marker and on Bristol vellum paper.
I want my original pieces of art to be more light fast. It’s not like the art is going to fade before your eyes or anything. I have just found that after a few years in a hot art tent all summer some of the colors can dim.
Some people solve this by putting all their art behind expensive UV glass. It’s a great way to go and if you have a few special pieces you keep in bright rooms I suggest it. I am looking for a lower budget option.
First I taped off area i didn’t want to get fixative on. I used Krylon Kamar Varnish as a base level.
Second I applied Golden Gloss Archival Varnish to the top. Some of them have one and some have two coats. The two coats w fixative are definitely shinier.
Third I applied Krylon Satin UV Archival to the sets in the bottom. Some of them have one and some have two coats. Again the two coats are shinier.
There are a few spots that took damage from the pro art tape I used. I did the shirt trick and everything but some of the color came off. I made notes on the board where this applies.
The spots that have just fixative and the spots with just UV sprays are rougher in texture for some reason. I do not know why. However, most people do not touch their art so we shall see how they fair when light is applied.
Now I will set these in a window that gets direct sun and see what happens. It is, of course going to rain for the next 5 days (written on Sunday. Being posted on Wednesday)
