Soap Bubble Art 2 - Light And Shadow


size: 9.5"w x 7.75"h
I was in a mood to do some soap bubble blowing artwork... As I found out adding too much color on the large bubbles creates big blobs when the sink to the paper...
On Fabriano Mixed Media paper using water with soap detergent blew bubbles and then transferred them to my paper, dropping some of the Ecoline inks onto the bubbles (Lt Green, Sky Blue Cyan, Scarlet, Dp Yellow). When dry,  added graphite shadows blending with a paper stump in the large holey areas...

words: Light and shadow are opposite sides of the same coin. We can illuminate our paths or darken our way. It is a matter of choice. Maya Angelou

This sounds like a fun technique to try, and you know how I love all the color!
