I've taken my Flying Balloon Kids and put them on ACEO/ATC's.
Artist Trading Cards which traditionally measure 2.5 x 3.5.
I've used watercolor and ink on Smooth Bristol Board paper.

May 12, 2009 Kids Balloon Illustration
BALLOON CHILDREN
Here is the 1st in a series of (4) - Balloon Kids. This illustration began with a "graiselle" underpainting, then was finished with Prismacolored Pencils. It measures 6 x 6".
Grisaille (grɪʼzaɪ, -ʼzeɪl; French: gris, grey, French pronunciation: /ɡʁi.zaj/) is a term for painting executed entirely in monochrome, usually in shades of grey or brown, particularly used in decoration to represent objects in relief. Some grisailles, in fact, include a slightly wider colour range, like the Andrea del Sarto fresco, here illustrated.
A grisaille may be executed for its own sake as a decoration, as underpainting for an oil painting (in preparation for glazing layers of colour over it), or as a model for an engraver to work from. "Rubens and his school sometimes use monochrome techniques in sketching compositions for engravers."

May 5, 2009 Children's Illustration
This illustration is being donated to the Mason-Dixon Library, in Stewartstown PA, for their annual fund raiser. I've included the preliminary drawing, or under drawing, before the colored pencil painting. This drawing measures 6" x 6" square and was done on Bristol Board with Prismacolor colored pencils.
