Today's prompt in the Sketch A day app is 'Sand' and that made me go through my reference pictures of patterns in the sand at the beach or elsewhere. I found this one, made by my daughter and waiting to be used for over six years now.
On a watercolour paper I made a watercolour underpainting using the colours of the picture.
After that had dried I made the structures using my pencils and I picked the watercolour pencils only because I have the widest range in colours and shades of that quality in pencils. I knew I needed some shades of grey this time.
The structure was created by strong wind over not completely dry sand and the sun gave some nice shadows. The reference picture is almost abstract and I liked that idea for today's prompt.
Using the pencils I could make the best of the structure of the paper and I am really happy with the result.
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this work and - if you are interested in my original artworks - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
