What a beautiful piece it is! Wow wow wow! I am going to watch the slideshow as soon as I get a chance! I’m so glad you did a step-by-step of this one!
Beautiful, as usual. You work is always superb. Wondered if you’ve tried the new sanded, pastel multimedia support board from Multimedia Artboard? It has a finer tooth than Ampersand’s board. I have done a test piece on the multimedia board and found it was a bit easier to get details in place.
The Multimedia folks have a website: http://www.multimediaartboard.com (Yes, two a’s – I double checked.) Their phone number is 770-271-4753. I’ve been using their artboard products for a long time. Their standard artboard can take oils, acrylics, and pencils. Hard to find something that works for all three. Sometimes, I would prefer more of a “paper-like” surface for my color pencil work, but I can make the artboard work. I use the Ampersand supports as well. Again, just a beautiful piece.
Beautiful! the grapes look so luscious and the you can just feel the shiny silk fabric. I’m still trying to master those NeoColors as you use them. The slideshow is helpful.
Love your new piece it is so beautiful. Where are you going to show it? We would love to see it in person. This blog is wonderful, but there is nothing in this world like seeing your pieces in person.
