She is well-versed in several artistic tools. She loves creating the base of her artwork with traditional mediums such as graphite pencils, Micron pens, charcoal pencils, gel pens, colored pencils, and watercolors and often ends this process digitally.
“My question is whether or not the original is a great original that will sell as is, but then I remember the advice, digitize it with an app and store the original.”
Her artistic process these days starts with laying the base using the traditional mediums stated above. This process can take up to 3 hours or a few days. Once completed, she evaluates it.
