Are we there yet?

It’s been about 5 months since I got hold of my oil based markers and a few weeks since ‘Imperfect Balance’ was conceived. The set has moved on a bit but there’s still work to be done.

And as I am still exploring my own style and direction, I would like to share with you the process in which one of the canvases takes form.

For my first project, I decided to venture into the world of canvases. Previously, almost all of my doodling was done on paper so this will be a good test to see if canvas is a good medium for me. To start, I decided on the 10 x 10 inches medium grain. Masking tape is used to loosely manage borders and a couple of fine pencil lines are added to further guide the concept. The rest of the canvas (and majority of the work) is created freestyle using only the Pebeo oil based markers.

And here is my progress to so far. Enjoy!
