Cowboy Camp

2022.  Pen and Marker

With this piece, I wanted to capture Colorado's beauty with pointillism. I only used three pen colors, red, yellow, and blue. I drew small dots with each pen, and by layering the colors I was able to create depth and new colors. I love how the reflections of the fire on the stones turned out. Although this was a tedious process, I enjoyed trying pointillism for the first time, and found a new way to shade that I used in later pieces.
