When making a piece of art using colored pencils, do you say it’s a drawing or a painting? On one hand, you are using pencils but they are colored pencils. In my opinion, in this case, it’s a painting.
While shading is used in both drawings and paintings, I used a lot of blending in this piece using a very old set of Prismacolor Pencils that I received as a gift. I used a tiny bit of solvent for the eyes and feet on the base layer then used a pencil again on top. To finish, I used a white Gelly Roll on the log and a tiny bit on the bottom fur so it would stand out better.
Here’s a question: Does a Gelly Roll make it mixed media? Maybe… if it was in a contest or something it might not be allowed.
The painting is on 9×12 Canson Pastel paper and it took me way too long to finish, at least it feels that way but I was also doing laundry. 🙂
