I am on a cacti kick thanks to Josie Hamilton, here.
She warned me that they were addictive.
 |
| step 1: gesso brushstrokes |
And, I wanted to try it on a black background.
 |
| step 2: marker defining gesso shapes |
The great thing about cactus is that they are so irregular. For me, this makes drawing the cactus easier.
 |
| step 3: start with junk mail |
 |
| step 4: more junk mail |
 |
| step 5: junk mail |
 |
| step 6: touch ups & blossom |
 |
| step 7: marker for definition. |
 |
| step 8: white marker |
Warning: I plan to do more cacti, I am addicted.

Love your how-to and how the cacti turned out. And I'm already looking forward to the next ones.
On our walks we often are running in the woods - places with crowds of trees. It's so peaceful there and you can forget all the problems around you at least for a while.
How wonderful that your acupuncture helped and you soon can get more. It's priceless when the pain starts to stop.
Love this piece to bits! Thanks for the blow by blow, too. :-)
Thanks Elenor, yes the needles did seem to help, but I still haven't slept through. I hate the exercises but they have to be done. Hope you are having a great week.
Thanks John, this was so easy and fun.
