As I have described before on this blog, I used oil paint
sticks for the majority of the painting on this piece. But, for the owl and the
rabbits I used a white Derwent Inktense pencil. These are my pencils.
I switched to the Inktense
pencil because I thought the large size of the oil paint stick would not fill
the smaller area that the owl and rabbit shapes took up. The pencil point also
gave me more control for the tighter curves and crevices on these animals.
To apply the Inktense pencil I poured a small amount of liquid
painting medium on a dish, swirled the pencil in the medium and then stroked
the pencil on the fabric. The medium I used is shown here:
I stroked in the direction that the moonlight illuminate the
area of the animal to give it shape. I added more of the white pencil to those
areas that are closer to the moon or that had more girth. Here is a photo of me
applying the pencil:
I let the pencil/paint dry and then pressed the area to set
it.
It’s was as simple as that!
