Leap of Joy in Mixed Media

 

This is a tutorial by Tamara Leporte for the "Art Soul Gathering." A painting with Tam is always fun. I couldn't wait to begin this playful confetti splash dolphin!

I began this lesson following Tam's drawing with a Pentel Graphgear 1000 on hot press watercolor paper (140lb.) I enjoyed creating this inspiring lesson using Prisma watercolors, Liquitex Acrylic Ink, Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay Black India Ink. A paper towel working on the white ink made the realistic foam over the colorful background. I love that the dolphin's fins show through the white that look like bubbles!

I finished the piece off using a Molotow Blackliner and a Uni-ball Signo in white for highlights.

I really wasn't sure how this piece would work out, but looking at it the second day, gave me a good feeling about it!
