Wild Dreams art creation process

Pic 1 - First I did some sketches and after I got and idea on how doing it I transfered the drawing for the paper. I used a black permanent ink for the line drawing. I had to wait for it to dry before I started painting. Pic 2 - Here I did some watercolor only with light tones and started to incorporate the dark tones together. I worked from the horses to define the colors for the rest of the painting since they are the main focus on this work. Pic 3 - Now I started working with the black permanent ink pen again to create really bold and dark areas. But I also used some black watercolor so the colors still look a bit transparent. Pic 4 - To finish the work, I used a special white pen for paintings to create some light effects and finishes over the work. To finish everything, I scanned the image to my computer and all I did was using a bit of Photoshop to enhance the darks and lights and I also added a vintage/grungy background. See the finished work here: http://society6.com/krisefe/Wild-Dreams_Print I hope you enjoy!

Smoking Lights (For Sale)

Female smokers in film were also early on associated with a type of sensuous and seductive sexuality, most notably personified by German film star Marlene Dietrich. Similarly, actors like Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn have been closely identified with their smoker persona, and some of their most famous portraits and roles have involved them being haloed by a mist of cigarette smoke. Hepburn often enhanced the glamour with a cigarette holder, most notably in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's. Drawing made with pencil. To light up the girl cigarette I've used Photoshop.

Easter (For Sale)

The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility. The Easter Bunny was introduced to the United States by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 18th century. Here is a very modern example of an Easter Bunny.
