This picture was done on stretched paper. It is of my singing teacher and her husband playing the sax and the double bass.
I started by doing a rough drawing in pencil of them and then drew another one in pen, not going over the pencil but using it as a guideline so that the pen was proportionet (this was mainly for the double bass because it's massive).
I wanted to apply more colour so I used water colours on the instruments but it felt empty. Using chalk I drew blocks of the instrument heads.
I chose the colour of the chalk specific to the sound the instrument gave off. So a double bass produces a deep mellow tone which made think of the deep green while a sax is active and bright like the colour orange. I wish that the two of them were closer in the picture because they were in real life so I'm disappointed and the chalk became a bit over whelming.
