Wood burning & Watercolor

 Watercoloring Kirk Cousins

I sat down at the table, did a little sketch, and then dipped by brush into water …

    

That's how this piece began. And after the paint was laid - it looked just like the photo above.

Wood Burning

This piece started a bit different. Still with watercolor but it was first burned on a piece of wood with a hot tool called a wood burner. And even before that it was traced on to the wood … and before that it was thought about for some time, trying to find the best position for each player.

Now go forward a few steps and we return to the step where this piece is being painted. With watercolor.

After it was all done I decided to cut a little frame for it to nicen up the edges. This piece features quarterback, Kirk Cousins, wide receiver, Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson, tight end, Kyle Rudolph, and running back, Dalvin Cook from the MINNESOTA VIKINGS. 

My plan is to get all of their signatures so if any of you are reading this blog, yeah that's you Kirk, Kyle, Dalvin, Justin, or Adam. You guys should come sign this artwork for me!

Thank You for viewing Today's VIKING art!
