So lovely, it has been awhile since we've seen any of these sketches and I thank you for these, there is something comforting, charming, yet with a bit of an edge to them!
2 things, if you care to share, how do you obtain the gold portion, so even, and, what shade of blue do you use?
Thank you, Barbara! I have a lot of sketches to unload very soon, but have fallen so far behind in my posting... soon, I promise.
The gold is from an acrylic paint that I found somewhere here— it's from a brand called St. Petersburg "Ladoga", and the colour is "Maya Gold". It's a Russian brand that works beautifully, though it needs several layers.
The blue is a Winsor & Newton Ultramarine gouache.
Harika is the Turkish word for wonderful, marvellous, extraordinary. It has always been one of my most favourite words, for both its meaning and the pleasure of pronouncing it.
Welcome to Harika, the adventures of a compulsive sketcher.
