nest and heart |
Last Sunday
PoeticArtist showed us her beautiful piece of two human beings looking at a nest. Then days later, I saw a nest in a magazine. I had one last page to fill in my sketchbook for the sketchbook project 2011, and had been wondering what to add. It finally hit me that a nest with a heart in it would work with the theme I am illustrating. The above image shows my sketch in pencil. Above that is the sketch in pen that I redrew onto rice paper. I added the heart later with red washi paper.
I loved how it came out in my sketchbook so I decided to do an aceo. For the aceo above, I used gloss medium to adhere my rice paper drawing to the support. I then painted some of the background with acrylics and hand-stamped the word "love." Below the nest layer is another painting. If you hold it up to the light, you'll see a human figure kneeling. The heart in the nest shows through and appears to be in his hand that rests on his knee.
