The emphasis of this series is all about the beauty and variety you can get with natural black hair
The model is my little boy, "Josh" and that was when he had a bit more hair and was younger.
AFRO XXIV, 8" x 10", Mixed Media on Heavy Watercolour paper, 2009
AFRO SERIES charcoal dust colored pencils josh liqitex slow-dri blending medium oil base pencil
This is number 24 in my current Afro series- another experiment- I started off by mixing the charcoal dust with some Liquitex Slow Dri Blending medium(Never tried this just looking for effects)I didn't do any initial drawing just attacking the paper with my brush as I would approach a watercolour piece. Then when it was dry, I added more definite drawing and tone to the piece with the oil base pencil. I then added some intermediary tones with cool grey and white coloured pencils.
