Does this Opus tile look joyful?
Hope so, I'm loving the Renaissance Opus tiles with plenty of room to play with colourful zengems. When I first started drawing gems I wasn't quite sure what to do next.....like, how do I fill in the spaces in between? I decided to make this one a sampler with round gems and a selection of colour. Fun, fun, fun!!
I used Prismacolor pencils for the zengems.
Excellent work, as usual, Michele. Prismacolor is my go-to brand for colored pencils as well.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! It is amazing how you can make these look dimensional and so translucent.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous, Shelly! I can almost reach out and touch these gorgeous shiny gems. I simply MUST learn how to do this!

ReplyDeleteSO beautiful! Is there any chance you did a stepout?
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, sorry I don't have step outs but I started by drawing random circles, coloured them in, tangled around the middle one and it grew from there. Hope that helps.
DeleteOh my gosh..this amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love your tiles and I love your gems!!!It seems ,I could touched them with my fingers. I swear,my fingertips feel the cool and smooth surface😉😉😉
ReplyDeleteIf you do not do tutorials on your fantastic gems, where do you suggest we go to try to learn to draw them? Thanks. Nancy
