My newest piece, Social Butterflies, is currently in progress.
Lately, I've been experimenting with combining different mediums alongside my usual colored pencil work. For this piece, I started with a watercolor base and then layered Prismacolor colored pencils, Pan Pastels, gouache, and water-soluble colored pencils on top. It's been a process of trying different techniques and materials, adding layers, and seeing where the artwork takes me.
While I probably won't create another piece using quite this many mediums at once, this experiment has given me some ideas. Moving forward, I'd like to explore combining watercolor and colored pencil more intentionally—working back and forth between the two throughout the creative process.
Experimenting and learning new approaches is one of my favorite parts of making art!
