Our new challenge at TRY IT ON TUESDAY is 'BLACK, WHITE AND ONE OTHER COLOUR'.
This is one of my fave colour combos - there's so much scope as there's so many different colours which are striking with black and white.
This piece is now framed and hung on my back sitting room wall.
I started by masking off a circle and used a piece of card for a straight line to make the horizon. The Red sun was ink blended with a combo of Fired Brick and Festive Berries Oxides - it really is a fiery red!
I lightly blended the remains of the colour on the brush below the sun, just dragging it in a 'V' shape in an attempt to imitate a reflection.
I used Black Soot Oxide for the rest of the blending taking care not to overload the brush and always blending onto scrap paper before blending onto the main piece and then only used gentle pressure as I didn't want it black.
The stamps are from Card-io and the white 'cherry blossom' and highlights were achieved with a white acrylic pen.
Thanks for looking - hope to see you linked up in the challenge blog! x

This is beautifully oriental Viv, and I love that bright red sun and the surrounding tree, rocks and bamboo, and the white blossom on the tree looks so pretty. I love your reflection too, so realistic, and what a great idea to put it in a frame to hang in your sitting room. x
