[Sketch #12 - Watercolor Test]


It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I decided to post more "in progress" pieces. Taking a brief hiatus on Devour Them to work more on a painting I started a month ago. I'm going to try and finish this sometime before I go back to work next Tuesday. Initially this piece was just another 'test' inspired by the Bezentine heads of Alphonse Mucha. But, like many of the things I start working on, it's developing a life of it's own. I'm considering doing a series of these pieces now. I love water color, but I work really slowly with the medium, and I'm always worried I'll over work some areas and under work others. Won't know if I don't keep at it eh?

Taking a short vacation has been refreshing, but I feel like I'm not getting as much artwork done as I wanted. I blame my desire to read (next on the list being Pride and Prejudice And Zombies)... and play video games >_<. It's good to relax though.

More to come.

"Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones, blood, and teeth erode, with every crashing node.
Wings wouldn't help you
Wings wouldn't help you... down
Down fills the ground, gravity's proud."
-Bon Iver feat. St. Vincent (Roslyn)
