"Out of the longboat! Take no prisoners! Sack the village! Make fun of Bjorn Squeakersson's exercise wheel, will they? PILLLLLAAAAAAGE!"
Ahem. This painting is arguably the most ambitious watercolor I've done in years, and it about killed me. I used textured clayboard, which takes color really really well, and layers color really really well, but does not lose color particularly well, so I wound up having to repaint the sky in acrylic after several fruitless hours of banging my head against it. The whole thing sat, about two-thirds done, for nearly a month until I finally threw myself at it again, but I'm pretty glad I did, although I'm still not sure how I feel about the textured clayboard for pieces this large--I think I may stick to illo board in the future unless it really wants a gradient. The clayboard does gradients really well. I dunno. Watercolor/mixed media, 14 x 18. The original is framed and is for sale, and prints--even jumbo prints!--are available.

 reports, 1d 21h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
