Drawing angels

I thought it only fitting to write this post whilst listening to Aerosmith's 'Angel' on repeat. The 1988 video rocks.

I have a workshop at the weekend and the theme is angels, so it's time to get planning. I've been busy experimenting with possible outcomes and it's become quite a messy day. I've had yellow and blue fingers most of the day, a combination of oil pastels and ink.

Experiment 1

Pink sugar paper coated with yellow ready mix paint, left to dry. Design drawn with oil pastels.

Experiment 2

Orange sugar paper coated with light orange ready mix paint, left to dry. Design drawn with oil pastels and wax. Two layers of watercolours added.


I used a resist technique with the oil pastels against a darker watercolour to suggest rays of light. However, I also wanted to combine this light with the vibrancy of bold colour.

I hope you enjoyed these, more to follow soon.

I completed this post with a lip sync to Aerosmith - 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing', (finishing with my hand on the monitor).

👄Maybe the next Steemit contest could be The Steemit Lip Sync Battles? 👄
