18x12 mixed media and ink on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper. I drew an ink outline yesterday of statue of David (sculpted by Michelangelo between 1501-1504), onto dry paper I had collaged phone book pages onto. I then added gouache to him and background. After drying, I covered the entire paper with black India ink. When that dried, I ran lukewarm water over the image. To lose more ink, I should've worked on 300 lb watercolor paper. It was quite splotchy so I went back in with gouache then painted over background again with ink. When all was dry I used silver and gold Caran D'Ache wax pastel crayons for linear work. Today I've drawn David again over a failed work which will post tomorrow. Here below are the steps for this finished work:
