Beautiful Oops

Mountain Range

Graphite, Sharpy

8" by 5 1/2"

My inspiration for this was one of the MacBook backgrounds I saw on someone else's computer in class but theirs was more realistic and stricter with the colors so I wanted to make mine more colorful. I was also inspired to create this with dark water to represent the sky as a joyful place.

My favorite part of this artwork is the transition of colors from dark to light. To create this I used a quick sketch with an HB pencil then filled in the "mountains" with sharpy starting with the darkest in the front going to the lightest in the back.

The ink droplet helped me start this. At first, I thought I was going to create rocks in the water but in the end, I created this beautiful, simple, mountain range.
