CALLA EXPERIMENT
This was a very pretty watercolor, until I got my 'freak on' and morphed into my ''EXPERIMENTAL MODE''....I simply went wild with that ELEGANT WRITER PEN and a little Pastel too, on top of my watercolor. And if you think Watercolor brings lots of fun surprises...you should try the Elegant Writer Pen...:) ♥
I thought I would put this little tutorial about the Elegant Writer Pen up again...:)
ELEGANT WRITER...made by...www.speedballart.com
I use mostly size 1.3mm Extra Fine
I bought mine at my local Hobby Lobby arts & crafts store, near the Calligraphy section.
They are available online at various art sources also.
The cost is around three dollars.
There are several ways to use these pens in sketching/painting.
I usually draw first in pencil, then very lightly go over the pencil line with the pen, skipping some of them, not to overdo the ink.
I then barely touch the edge of the ink line with a wet(with water) brush which results in an explosion of the ink line.
You can also thoroughly wet the ink for another effect.
Once the ink has been wet with water and dried it will not ''explode'' again.
Once it dries you can add more ink if needed...and repeat procedures.
You can add watercolor after the ink has dried, or even before...but be careful doing this as ''mud'' comes easily...:)
You'll want to experiment and play with it before using it on a ''serious'' sketch or painting...:)
I have a ''set'' on my page here for all my Elegant Writer sketches & paintings.
Karlyn Holman has some wonderful examples and info. in her most recent book ''WATERCOLOR WITHOUT BOUNDARIES''...One of my favorite Art books of all time...♥♥♥
Zantedeschia aethiopica, commonly known as calla lily and arum lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to southern Africa in Lesotho, South Africa, and Eswatini.
The derivative of the word calla is the Greek word for beauty — calla. The flowers have an interesting mythological history. Calla lilies are said to come from the ancient god Hera, the wife of Zeus. In the story, Zeus brought Hercules to nurse from his wife while she was sleeping. He wanted his son to have the strength of the gods. Hera awoke and pushed the baby away from her. Drops of milk flew across the sky creating the milky way and everywhere they landed on earth, calla lilies bloomed.
They also have been tied to Venus in Roman mythology. Venus saw the flower and felt her beauty was threatened by its pure white blossom so she cursed it with an unsightly pistil.
....these beautiful flowers are growing in an almost forgotten part of my back garden,
up against a garden shed. The dark purple wall is actually the back of a feature wall,
adjacent to the shed......which makes for a lovely backdrop..!
(Explored - best position #9)
ALL IMAGES ARE BEST seen On Black, yours too!
They are very photogenic flowers these Callas
It is always the same, once I have an idea for the studio, I get in there, see something else, and something else again, wonderful how inspirational it can be.
My imagination running wild again...I positioned these beauties, the stage was set, the lights were on, camera/action/ ready for their close-up...
More experiments with lights and shapes.
Zantedeschia, usually erroneously called Calla or Arum lilies (only when big and white), they are not a true lily.
It is named after Italian botanist Francesco Zantedeschi.
All parts of the plant are toxic.
I wish you all a great day, and thank you for all your words, time, comments and likes. Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)
