DRAWING ON FABRIC | Autumn Sunrise


Meet "Autumn Sunrise". Here's one my drawings on fabric (I call these fabric paintings) with Derwent colored pencils and ink blocks.   Autumn Series is a piece that I did as a painting study. I actually did an underpainting for the tonal values of sun yellow, mustard, baked earth in this piece.

Notes
Autumn Sunrise is on a 16 x 20 inch piece of treated cotton fabric. I treated the fabric with a combo of 2:1 parts water and textile medium. This helps the dyes bond to the fabric.

The entire piece uses an "impressionist" technique where I create these markings of ink colors next to one another without blending them. This technique is easy and can produce very impressive pieces with no brush work! The colors used in this piece are  - 

Trees: tangerine, poppy red, mustard, willow
Branches: baked earth, willow, bark, mustard
Grass: teal green, ionian green, field green, leaf green, apple green, deep indigo, sea blue, tangerine, poppy red, chili red, sun yellow
Light: sun yellow, tangerine
