The sketch took about 30 minutes on a 400 Series Strathmore 140lb cold press watercolor sketch pad. My sketches are drawn with a soft office pencil followed with non-water soluble black ink line over that. Next comes the final watercolor washes. Size: 9"X12".
The full blown watercolor is 22"X30" on 140lb professional grade cold press watercolor paper. The painting was completed with a few strokes of various colored conte crayons. That 18th century Conte (a Frenchman) was a great inventor of some artistic mediums such as Conte crayon. Splattering with a toothbrush was added as foreground texture on both pieces. The sketch sells for $100 plus shipping and handling, and the watercolor sells for $400 plus shipping and handling. I haven't got Paypal set up yet, but if you are unterested, email me at sushi3@mac.com.

Great work David,
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you are charging a decent amount. Both the sketch and watercolour are collector worthy and will no doubt be snatched up in minutes.
Take care,

Barbara, I did get a call from a business in Florida but not in regards to these pieces. They want to print a wine label so they Googled "happy grapes", and my grape h2o's came up on page one! Funny and small world!
