This painting is a perfect representation of how everything looks when I take off my glasses. A train scene seemed to fit the prompt, imagine being on your way home after a long day and you take off your glasses whilst pinching the bridge of your nose as you ruminate on the day’s events. You look up and everything looks fuzzy; you arrive at your stop, put on your glasses, and it’s all clear again.
Process
I made use of the Royal Talens Indian ink, Cretacolor graphite pencil, and my Sinoart sketchbook.
I started off with a sketch of the reference that fit the idea I had in mind. I used the graphite pencil instead of the regular pencils because I wanted to capture as many outlines as possible with less details. So it was more like a very quick sketch.
Next, I used a spray bottle to get my paper damp and I began painting. it was quite interesting watching the ink flow around the paper. This helped me achieve the fuzzy/blurry look.
