MY MATERIALS.

The materials I used on this occasion were: watercolor, pen, India ink, acrylic white, my watercolor brushes, on FABRIANO cardboard, Panasonic camera, LUMIX FZ47 brand, Adobe Photoshop digitizing program, for digital modifications and Power Point, to convert the images to jpg format.

STEP BY STEP PROCESS.

Friend spectator, curator and follower of my artistic works, from this moment I will show you the interesting process of making this illustration, since I used several materials among themselves, making it a mixed technique, it also tells a little story, which you will like.

THE BEGINNING.

Using the watercolor technique, I traced a line on the horizon that expanded due to the action of the humidity of the support, then I placed a sketch of loose strokes that will be part of the illustration.

While adding a little white acrylic.

Note the blue colored spots, respecting the initial spot and treatment, while continuing to work other pigments are added. color.>

Note how I am making details with a variety of colored pigments to give meaning to the work.

The use of the spatulas is essential for the textures, achieved with the acrylic in paste.

The difference in the coding of the brushes is of great help to elaborate details, as shown in the slides.

Let's look at the illustration carefully and you will see the changes, the magical and at the same time strange phenomenon, of a moment.

Look closely at the artwork titled:

The ghost sailboat.

Friends, spectators, curators, faithful followers, lovers of the arts and the madness of creativity, of this crazy painter, I hope you liked this publication that I made, as an anecdote I can tell you that I visited the sea a lot, I I liked to go fishing, and I met with some old fishermen, who say that in the distance they always saw a motionless sailboat; Most of the visitors were surprised by this lonely sailboat, so they approached the site, but there was no sailboat, it was as if it had disappeared in the sea, it was a mixture of fear and astonishment, and many asked the old people about this mysterious sailboat and the old people gave them the following answers:

- There my children, I also got tired of seeing the sailboat on the horizon, but I also managed to see it in the depths of the sea, this happens when the water is completely crystalline you can see it at the bottom of the sea...

The inhabitants say that this sailboat sank suddenly with some people inside and a little dog, and they also say that every night the howl of the little dog is heard on the phantom sailboat...
