Acid Diamonds


Acid Diamonds (1/1)

This is a drawing I made using oil pastels, white stone hinge paper and colored pencils. Really I had no idea what the colored shapes were, rainbow chic hot air balloons, gay watermellons...the interpretations are endless. I decided to title it 'Acid Diamonds' from an interpretation a close friend offered me.

The piece on the right of the above picture was done on black paper which gave the background a much flatter black and the acid diamonds also appeared in more subdued tones instead of the shine given by the one done with colored pencil (left) on white paper. I do like how some of the the oil pastel colors appear more muted on the black stone hinge paper though.
