Making of "culturas de mexico"

(etcetera23 in the travel studio)

Making of ...

"Culturas de Mexico"


This is the final work of my mexican travel series. 
The Size is about A4 on 300 mg/m² and the main medium are water color pencils.
To start, I worked with Pencils, Rulers and and a divider to create the basics. Then I worked with different size water proof markers, to form the outlines. From there I started coloring with the pencils and blurred the colors with a Japanese brush. A Japanese brush is a pencil with a water container in his back, so you  have always a wet brush. Later I formed more forms with the paint and did some outlining with the permanent makers. On the pictures you can see my way through.

In the painting you can see the different influences in colors and forms. Blue for water, greens and browns for culture, indigenous influence, landscapes and mountains
The Graffiti like structure (which actually says Mexico) and the X in the middle signify the modern mexico with all there industry, people and lifestyle.

 If  you have any questions, please ask.

The style is more or less the same of my other mexican travel art. To show you, how it comes together I made a little "making of" here:

Evolution of my Mexican Art


(etcetera23 in the travel studio)



Evolution of my Mexican Art
etcetera23 on ART TOUR


As we all can see, the Plan of "not having a plan" its more complicated as we sometimes think. Ideas change quite quick and so this goes on.
A 5 month trip from Mexico to Panama, its already 6 month and I not even left Mexico yet. But this is okay... there are no hurries here.After I got stucked in Oaxaca for some time, I finally left to the states of Pueblo and Vera Cruz.In this region was not much tourist traffic so I was more or less by my self and found time to get my watercolourpencils, rulers and pens out. I started to paint a few little paintings.

There was a little evolution here from chaos green paintings to very geometrical forms.
Some people said: "Oh you must be in the jungle, because you paintings are so green" and actually I was in the Cuetzalan Mountains. Good observation people, I havent reconized that myself, in the sense of my works. The later works in this series are much more straight lines and I guess I found influence of a city. I was in Xalapa at the time

About the technique. I find a few helping lines on my piece of paper.
I bring my geometric forms to the paper and do the outlines with a marker. I color the spaces and wash it down with the water brush. Later some background fillings with the watercolor pencils and highlighting with a thinner marker in the end.


 Here you can go and see the Paintings:


There will be regular updates, so be curious and also  like the facebookpage to get more updates.


Gracias People! Also leave some feedback please.
