For the last few days I've been working on my second piece in my Abstract Illustration Animals series, the Wolves.
The four photos show the progression so far: I started with a blank canvas which I slathered extra gesso and a couple of texture mediums. I then poured ink over it, letting it run in some places and using my hands to rub it in in other places.
For this piece I was aiming to have the colours be reminiscent of the
Northern Lights because I knew I wanted to have wolves be the focus of
the work. Once the ink was done, I used oil pastels to create the
colours of the lights and also added some colour into the base of the
image.
When that was done, I was pretty happy with the top half but felt that the lower half needed something so I added some white paint, just a little bit here and there. After analysing it for a while I decided it needed more white, so I used more white ink and rubbed it in with my hands. Then I was much happier with it!
I played around with quite a few images of wolves until I found the ones I was happy with and collaged them on. Now all that's left is to draw them with ink to finish the picture. What do you think?
