Drawing Elephant, Playing with OMS

This was done. I love this elephant.

1 day I play with oms. the feeling is funny. so I share.

Left side Photo :

At the Beginning, the sky was already full of pigment. the photo was taken prior to brushing with OMS

Right side Photo:

Finished version after brushing with OMS, then smashing the sky with damp tissue by OMS

Experiment part - after using brush to apply oms, I damp a tissue with oms, use very hard force to wipe very hard on the whole skies zone. the friction smash everything and outcome looks .... suble and funny.😆

I do the same things on the 'land' zone. Sadly, this time was a failure. I drew very thick layer of sand colour. Then I applied layers and layers of dark brown on top of light sand color. when use oms to brush, all thing ok.

THEN, I wipe it all with a damp tissue full of oms. This time, All dark brown pigment was wiped away. Only the base layer of sand colour stay. all upper layers was wiped away. I need to redraw.

Then, I starring at a sand picture. use an electronic eraser to mimic the wave edges. this experiment part was also funny. (result in the bottom page, last wip photo
