One in a Melon

You are One in a melon inspired from a greeting card . Yes those that know me well know…. I don’t like puns … but I’m in love

my sweet granddaughter Boo and she loves them ! So I’m slowly creating a box of them for her. Oh the things we do for love

I know she’ll love to hide her pun rocks in her community

What if you don’t want black lines on your images? Don’t draw them in !

You can still sketch on the rock and you’ll know that regular graphite pencil mixed with paint on it will smudge and alter the paint colour . So this is how I change things up .

Draw with pencil – draw over that with your white acrylic pen- dry- erase graphite . It will dredge in the white line giving it a grey colour.

That’s perfect as now it is not a harsh white line!

Use a black colour pen and outline the image, Great pens for outlines are Posca 1m, !mr or the 0.7m size in Tooli-Art or Artistro.

And if you want to add a touch of highlight – pop on a few dots and dashes of white paint .

Colour on your rock – I have just painted a nice even layer. You do not want to paint it to thick. The more layers on the rock the more chance it has of peeling off later as the water in the base evaporates. Click on the image below to find out how best to paint on rocks!

Shading makes all the difference to the end result. Adds depth to the Image.
I use clean water and a size 2 or 4 filbert taklon paintbrush click on the below image to learn the technique – or head to YouTube to watch how I do the shading.
