Fly High, Touch the Sky..!!!

           Today I am here to share with you a mixed media art I did today. This is the first time I am working with watercolors over a large area (A4 size watercolor sheet!) & though it was fun, I need to refine my technique a lot. 



           Did this as a Monochromatic work for the Mixed Media Mojo June art challenge. Oops, the sun rays I painted from the top right corner are almost invisible!!
           Got inspired by this quote
"Your wings already exist, All you have to do is FLY!"

           The flowers were from an artwork I saw online ages ago & the butterfly girl is my imagination!!

           So I started with a rough pencil sketch of the flowers, added watercolors & added salt to the background to create a splotchy effect.



           Then I drew the butterfly/girl & coloured that too.



           Then went on to draw the outline for everything using my Pilot V5 0.5 black pen.





           Added some texture paste to the right side of the sheet because I felt it was kinda emptier compared to the rest!!



           And finally wrote the words using my Pilot pen & then used watercolor with my fingers to create an uneven border.
           Here we go.....
