Psyche loses her mind.

I had fun applying duotone and ‘glitch’ filters to one of my recent Bargue drawings, “Psyche of Naples.” The filters add visual interest to ordinary images, and make for an eye-catching poster or a coffee mug.

Highlights.

A friend recently admired a pair of earrings I was wearing, a gift from my daughter. I remembered that I had done a drawing of them a while back, and so went looking for it through the pages of stacks of sketchbooks. When I finally found it I was surprised at how much I liked it! It was done with a travel watercolor set, a water brush, black fineliners, and a Uni-ball Signo white gel pen. The drawing really came to life when the white highlights were added. The painted earrings are on the left, the actual earrings are on the right.
