My Guild's next challenge is "Cowboy Wisdom" and this is my 2nd piece and my favorite... and so true. In my younger days I used to ride a lot... mainly English style but also quite a bit western style as well. I was also honored to ride in EXPO 67 in Montreal in "Le Grand Spectaque" (spelling??)
size: 7.5"w x 5"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper drew out the outline cowboy style text. The border words were done in a 2 tone style using w/n Burnt Umber on the lower part of the letter and Gold Ochre on the upper part and letting them blend together. For the inner text I dropped water into the letter then the Ochre and blotted the liquid up. I really like the result of this. I added graphite shadow (2B Caran d'Ache) on the inner text.
