drawing challenge - cross stitch

pigma pen, watercolor and gouache in 8x6 gamma
 The challenge presented by Nadine was interesting and pleasing to my obsessive nature.
I layered and crossed out and layered more. 
Stop by Tiny Wolf Nadine's excellent blog to see the rest of the challenge drawings.

  6. What a strong graphic piece Sus!! Here is what I see: this is a study for a larger piece. I mean large. 5 feet by 7 maybe. In acrylic and fibre. Layered. Layered. Layered. Layered. If I were a billion zillionaire I would commission you to paint this imaginary painting for me. If I were a zillionaire I'd just buy you a house where you could work on it. I love this treasure. *smiles* Norma

  8. hey susan, this is actually, erm, taking my breath away. i've just had to just sit and look at it, and look in all directions, and see the details and then the whole design...

    reading your comment afterwards... obsessive. you have nipped this one in the bud! for if this is how one can 'handle' obsession, (;)))), then you're onto something big! the colours work so fine, the composition is both retained and free. it just really moves me.

  12. I love the cross stitchings... like X's.. which is one of my favorite symbols and a lot of them together makes for a lovely texture.
