Mo Manning

This is a Mo Manning image called ' taking a break ' I love her images, i have chalked around the image in blue for the sky and green for the grass, i think it looks more natural than if you use pens. I coloured them in using papermania dual tip watercolour markers i find i can shade things better with these. I then used a clear sakura glaze to the dogs collar and the sole of the boys shoes and a black sakura glaze to the dogs nose to make it look wet. I used a white skaura souffle pen on the tennis ball and then before it dried i dabbed a green pro marker pen and the effect is great, it looks like the green fuzz you get on a tennis ball so i am pleased with that. I then mounted the image on to black card. The background paper is from a forever friends pack. I have added some black star button with raffia attached, and some black gems.
