Blue's art

Blue working on the mushroomforrest, at the 2008 art explosion in Assen

I (Blue) have been making drawing like this since I was a young girl. I never received an education in the arts but I am as they call it 'autodidact'. Through the years I have developed my own style, especialy in my colouring pencil/crayon drawings. I also work with acrilic paint and pastel crayon, but mostly I work with colouring pencils/crayons. When people first see my work, they often don't realize what material it's made of. It's kind of hard to explain or discribe what it looks like, so I placed some pictures here.

This serie of photographs show Blue working on another drawing names The mushroomforrest. Again it shows that Blue starts with a sketch. This scetch usualy evolves as Blue works on it and is rarely thought of in advance. Usualy Blue has no clear idea of what the sketch will look like untill it's finished. When Blue is content with the sketch it is traced with ink and then the colours can be added.
Here the plan was to make a forrest filled with mushrooms, dark and damp, wich is hard to imagine when the paper is still white and empty.

The first beginnings. The sketch happend realy fast, it almost drew itself. The first colour has been added here because I had to choose coloursceme. It has to do with deviding the colours in a balanced manner.

Here some details from this early stage.

I tried to make different kinds of mushroom, basic on shapes of real mushroom you find in nature.

But the colours had nothing to do with real muchroom.

I just can't help but play with colours.

Blue went for a forrest covering hills

The further in the background, the darker the colours.

Blue worked on this picture during the art exposion 2008 in Assen.

And a lot of work was done that day.

The hill are done, now for the trees..
