At long last, this week, I'll be sharing the final pieces from my watercolor experiment from a recent commission.
I began with this one, and I'm sort of amazed it turned out as well as it did. It also took far less time than I expected. Now you have to work quickly (but patiently, ironically enough) with watercolor. However, since I was doing this in glazes and washes with no real direct painting until the very end, it came together far quicker than I expected, especially for not having a hair dryer between layers. As I may have mentioned, I was looking for something landed somewhere between the Victorian illustrators Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac and late era Japanese prints. This one of this series probably hit closest, though it appears that some Mucha snuck in there for good measure.
I've included the original drawing below for comparison.
