| I've masked, and done a w/w wash of phthalo blue with quin. violet. I am trying to start with brighter colors - they can be dulled and darkened later. The paper is 13 x 9 inches, Arches 300 lb. CP. |

| More masking of background tree boughs, and more dark blue ... |

| Here, I've removed the mask, and started on the lamp post. I have dry-brushed along the length of the post to give the impression of snow, and done some of the leaf-style detailing at the top. The glow of the light I have done w/w with aureolin and quin. siena. I've always loved The Chronicles of Narnia series of books. One of my favorite scenes is this lamp post near Mr. Tumnus' home. I have tried to give the lamp post an organic, tree-ish look, and will try to get more mystery and depth the background forest. Thank you for visiting! Your comments are always welcome. |
