Rainbow Shading Sampler

Rainbow Shading, Rainbow Shading, that's all we have here! As what is (tentatively) the last class of this series, member of my Art Club asked for more practice with different tangles. So I came up with this sampler of various tangles and that's what we're going to do next Friday.

Here's a mini-step out of what we'll do, slowly testing the Rainbow Shading technique with different tangles, forming a sampler of sorts.

I'm extraordinarily happy with the results of this new multi-part series format. This allows Clubbers time to learn each technique and concept.

Feel free to share these images!

This picture was made largely adapted from a fragment of Gothic architecture I found in Richard Glazier’s Manual of Historic Ornament (archive dot org). I combined three primary colors with black ink, and shaded and colored using inktense pencils.

During my last cruise we stopped briefly in Casablanca, Morocco. I took tons of pictures of historic buildings and this one detail caught my eye, I adapted it as string for this piece. Tangled and shaded with Inktense pencils and Pitt Artist brush pens.

Back in 1998 I went to Bali and it was an enchanting place for someone who enjoys ornament and patterns. I extracted the outline of a photo I took back then and used it as a string for this piece. Turned out a little whimsical, almost Seussian. You can see a couple of critters happily playing here and there.

This is a picture that I created while aboard my last cruise crossing the Atlantic. Before crossing westbound we visited Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Tenerife Islands, and I captured some of the details of the beautiful Parish of St. Francisco de Asís. I have to confess that this picture feels a bit “too pink” for my taste!
