WEEK 42 PC Challenge~~RUSSIA

Well here's a catch up card and page completed. This was a week I was so looking forward too-just wish I had been able to complete the card that week.

FRONT of CARD

View of Cathedral of Vasity in Red Square.

Done in watercolors and pen.

Statue was cut out from photograph

 

Back of CARD

Reads as Follows:

"My Dearest Love,

Sophie and I went to Russia to explore the great museums,

 and to go the wonderful Bolshoi Ballet.

My thoughts are always of you & wishing

we can met soon. The night terrors have lessen

now with the discovery of my attack in Austria.

Still unsure how Reuben ;or whoever accomplished

such an act as I  still have no recall of it happening.

(the doctors state this is normal)

Doing lots of paintings while here, including the

Cathedral of Vasity on the front of this card.

My Love always,

Melite"

PAGE in BOOK

  This was a labor of time to complete- First of all

the image was based from a an old magazine ad.

I outlined the basic building in light blue colored pencil.

 Then water colored entire page with a very light wash of turquoise blue .

Next I went over certain areas to get the blueprint appearance

with Prisamacolor Verithin colored pencil.

Next step was more water coloring with Antwerp Blue to ad

bold details. Since this took so long

I just cut out the image of the Ballerina from another ad.

Russia title hand draw and colored with Pitt pens.

Well Once again I enjoyed the process for making these entries.

 

Happy Creating!
