From Muddy Brook Cottage  1/11/2024 Shibui in Progress.

This is an unfinished Shibui Found Image Art.

The edges were there! And I worked them. It always amazes me as I continue the layering process with the pastel pencils. What happens is that the pastels as you go over and over, creating small circles, the pastels become glossy, especial with the blender pencil, the first layers are crayon like.

Depending on the image they can be very refined so the image itself is as a photo. Shibui can get pretty realistic when it is not being abstract by its very nature. You never know what you will find!

This too is a Shibui Found Image Art. It is unfinished as well in this particular photo of it. As I worked it, it became more vibrant.

I saw it leaves in a mud puddle.

It has taken some time to solve this particular Shibu.

I promise to share when I do that last bit of work.

The goal was to keep the sense of it being a puddle of water that reflects what is above it. I though of the shadows of trees but no, I can’t do it! LOL One mess up and I reck the whole thing!

The rings created by the action art part of creating a Shibui were what made it seem like a mudd puddle, and smaller events contributed to my mind seeing rocks.

Here you see light blue which I plan to be a reflected sky in the water. A light blue was under this brighter light blue.

This one is really cool, and my hesitation is messing it up somehow. But I continued to pull it out, now it’s at the critical “Just do it phase!”

Best wishes! Pejj
