Artist's Comments



11x14" cold press watercolour paper
Watercolour pencils
Water-soluble crayons
Graphite, ink, alcohol
Cling film, masking fluid
Keith's prints and stock overlaid





Originally intended for this to be Leda and the Swan, however what with the setting and all, she might as well be Odette. Inspired by the lovely Natalia Bessmertnova.

This is the first time I've ever used masking fluid, despite its widely-favoured nature. In the past I just tore up tiny bits of blue masking tape to kind of puzzle it over the area I wanted masked >_> Both ways work, I suppose, with the latter being much more of a pain.

Flicking alcohol (while sniffing it) is extremely fun.





Thank you for looking! :iconkissmeeplz:

Like the portrayal of graceful movement and elegance, very colourful background, like how it's done.

At this rate I may as well just bookmark peoples galleries :) seeing lots of great artwork recently from artists.

Any time swans are involved, I think of Bjork too :lol:

Thank you my friend!
