I\u00a0will admit..it’s been a long time since I’ve used my chalks or chalk pencils. On top of that, I have a bit of bronchitis and the chalk dust really gave me coughing fits, lol. Anyway, I stamped the lovely wine image, masked it and rubbed and scribbled pink and purple chalks over the background, After I removed the mask, I used the chalk and chalk pencils to add color to the image. I then used an eraser to remove color in areas for highlights. Since it’s hard to do really detailed shading with chalk, I had decided in the beginning I would go for an Impressionistic type still life look.\u00a0The coughing got to be too much with the chalk dust and the colors still didn’t look shaded enough, so I took out my Prismacolor pencils and added more shading. It was starting to look a little better, but I still wasn’t happy with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nIt’s funny where inspiration comes from, but as I was pondering what to do next, I noticed an animated short film on tv. The style was very cartoonish but I started looking at the backgrounds in the scenes. They were very mottled and had these cross hatch markings all over it and I really liked the way they looked. So I took a white Prismacolor pencil and did the scratchy bg on the top. I also used the\u00a0Ink Spots\u00a0<\/b>image to add a little something something along the shaded edges. The framed image was so large, I had no place to put the greeting except over the image, so I added it with the Versafine onyx ink.<\/span><\/p>\n
