So...last night I started Hillary's mini letter and I finished it up tonight. I took pictures along to way to show you my process.
First... is the sketch in the sketch book. When I talked to Hillary she said she didn't really care about the colors, but her office had some blues and greens in it...so I decided to take that and run with it...especially since I am a fan of this color combo. 
Then I draw the letter on my canvas and then painted in the actual "H" for Hillary
Then I painted in the background blue...this is where I normally set the painting down overnight...because the next two steps require drying. ... so I went to sleep...woke up...went to work for 12 hours...and when I came home I went right for the "H"....
That's when I do round one of Sharpie... that's what the picture above is...round one. I do the lines and then go back and touch up the color to make it more defined and bold...then...more drying...so I check email...let Maggie out...talk to D about my day... THEN...
I do the final lines...and VOILA! C'est fini!
...that my friends is how the magic happens. Is it everything you thought it could be and more?
Love the step-by-step (writing that makes me want to break out into NKOTB song) pictures! I miss you!
