Salient is an unusual word that most of us don't use very often. It means prominent, conspicuous or most noticeable. There are places that mark the salient periods of my life. How about you?
Line drawings are very expressive, especially if they are not done perfectly, which is the very thing that makes children's artwork so compelling. Most of the time they are referred to as contour drawings. It is an excellent way to learn how to draw. (Include just enough details to make it convincing.)
This drawing was created using a pointed pen and raw umber gouache over a background with watercolor effects. The placement of the drawing was positioned in a way to create shapes that connect and extend from edge to edge. By using some of the background color to write lettering in opposing corners, I have created interest and variety in all four corners. Designing the corners keeps the viewer's eye within the piece.
It is not the most dynamic piece I've created but it is far superior than having a line drawing on a blank sheet of paper. You might find it very fulfilling to create drawings over less successful pieces. It might bring them to life again. Just something to think about.
Please contact me personally to inquire about this piece.
