This week I am doing Jenn's challenge of "Shadows" at The Artist Playroom first thing! I started my drawing with the Diva's challenge of a tangle called "Bunzo" first. It is the beginning shape of all the croissants. Then it morphed into a whole scene with lots of shadows! I did however, also do a traditional tangle, see below the text for Croissants.

This is done with a Sakura Micron Pen # 01 and my Inktense Watercolor Pencils. I put the colors on the paper dry, then sprayed the surface with water. I then added more color where necessary, or smooth some areas out. Next is my 3.5"Square with the "Bunzo" tangle used in a more traditional way. I also used "Holibaugh"and "Fescue."

great shadows gloria, thanks for entering. I so want one of those croissants, every time I see them I wish I'd gone to Paris before this year happened, finding out I can't have wheat. :o(
ReplyDeleteI'll have to see if I can find an adequate recipe for gluten free croissants!!
Very nice use of shadows. And you have made me hungry for croissants--LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteAlways such a wonderful variety of wonderful art!! Never a dull moment over here!

I love your greeting card! how clever! croissants in the first, lollipops in the second :)
ReplyDeleteYep it is perfect for flowers!
ReplyDeletewonderFULL and delicious!! love them both and thank YOU, too, for your very nice comment on my shadow photo for APR.
ReplyDeletetell Jenn I looked in my babycakes cookbook and couldn't fine croissants but just looking made me hungrier!! I imagine there must BE a gluten-free recipe out there for them.
yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!
I love the whimsy of these! So fun!
ReplyDeleteReally fun creative use of Bunzo - love the first one - made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThat is super cool and quite inspiring!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and original.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I made a sandwich for lunch before I sat down to snoop around here, or I'd be off to the shops for croissant. And a ham and cheese one at that! Haha. Fab shadows and I love the tangle too :0)
ReplyDeleteLike you shadows, very tasty :-) The tangle is really nice, you can see each pattern so clearly.

Nice use of bunzo, looks great.
ReplyDeletebeautiful bunzo flowers and very yummy looking croissants!
ReplyDeleteLovely and yummy take on the challenge, Gloria!
ReplyDeleteThey are both wonderful but I especially love the top one... it is a perfectly captured moment in time...xx
ReplyDeleteFood definitely can be very inspiring! Nice interpretation of the 'shadow' theme. I notice you used Inktense pencils on your croissants piece. I've recently discovered the Inktense pencils and am having lots of fun playing around with them, so it was nice to see someone else using them, too! : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious picture of the croissants on the kitchen table. This is such a lovely atmosphere and I wish I could be there.
ReplyDeleteThe colors meet the shadows perfectly!
I like the bottom one... but then I do have a thing for lines! :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous shadow picture, it's making me hungry. Love the zentangle too.

I love your original idea for using Bunzo. It reminds me of lollipops with lifesavers at the base... and bonus fescu, which is one of my all-time favourites. I have a soft spot for "whimsy". Your tile made me smile. Nice work!
