Hi Everyone, So my next painting is part of my Travel Series and it is all about Sydney, Australia! I have been there twice and I just love this Sensational city! Thus, my title for the painting is "Sensational Sydney". It will be done in Acrylics on 40 x 50 cm, gallery wrapped canvas. This painting is for my wonderful friend Kim Barker. Our second Swap! She painted a wonderful portrait of Andreas to match mine in her Energy Series style! Thanks again mate!
After many many sketches I came up with this....here is my sketch done in ink:
And Then Colored - What a difference color adds to our lives! This was colored using oil pastels (First time working with pastels and boy were so hard to work with, phew I dont know if I will use them again, but the colors sure are striking)
