The Luck of Love

9 x 12 in.

Materials : Micron pens, watercolor pencils, watercolors, Bristol board

I started with a neutral green for the base and then got really light in one corner. I then made it slowly get darker, making it look like the light was shining on the piece. I created depth and a low point with the other clovers in the background, which I did by layering shades of green watercolors. The hand was shaded with watercolors as well as the clover, and then it was outlined in the pens and watercolor pencils. The piece is actually a photo of my hand I took in California. At the time I thought I was lucky, but in reality three leaf clovers mean something different, love.
