ellerThe saga of artistically questionable postcards goes on! This time, I drew the address of someone I already knew a bit from the Postcrossing forum - and they're another paleolithic art nerd! YAY! Of course, I could not resist the temptation to produce some cave art fanart.
I prepared a piece of thick Kraft paper (A6 format) with sand (collected myself, of course) and acrylic paste, so the result looked kind of like a sandstone cave wall. (The closest approximation I could manage, anyway.) I then took charcoal and pastels and drew on it, which was somewhat tricky. I fixed the end result with spray varnish. (Also, obviously, I had to send it in an envelope, but I’m told it arrived undamaged, which makes me very happy.) This was SOOO much fun! XD
