Tenerife Pink
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!
This is the precise location I was in while making this picture :-)
Here is a before and after the embellishment and coloring:
As you can see the picture is more of an interpretation of the original, the design loosely sketched with inktense pencil and then treated with pens and pencils. The picture measures 4x6 inches on hotpressed watercolor paper. Here are some close-ups:

I’m so pleased with this beautiful mandala I made using a stencil by Kathryn Costa (Four Gates Mandala). I mixed two techniques: 1) painting with Pitt artist brush pens and Inktense pencils and 2) embroidering on paper. Very very fun to make!
